Faridkot, May 3

After a Faridkot resident was caught selling six oxygen cylinders at exorbitant prices in Delhi, the police have started investigating the source from where these cylinders were procured.

The cylinders were being “smuggled” in an NGO’s ambulance, run by a retired principal of a girls’ government senior secondary school in Faridkot.

The West Delhi’s Paschim Vihar police arrested Kewal Singh of Faridkot, the driver on the ambulance, and recovered six oxygen cylinders. He was selling these at Rs 28,000 to Rs 35,000 each. The police have also arrested Vinay Kumar, a resident of Paschim Vihar, who had allegedly been getting the supply of cylinders from Kewal. — TNS
