Illegal LPG Racket Busted in Delhi, 96 Cylinders Seized

Delhi Police, acting on specific intelligence, have dismantled an illegal LPG refilling and hoarding operation in Nangloi. Conducting a raid on Bakkarwala Road, a crime branch team seized 96 domestic gas cylinders, vehicles, and equipment.

According to officials, the illicit activity involved the accused—Vinod, Vijay, and Vansh Raj—who were allegedly linked to LPG delivery services. They reportedly refilled gas from filled cylinders into empty ones using unauthorized equipment, including metallic pipes, on a vacant plot.

The suspects were apprehended after failing to provide legitimate documentation for the cylinders. Subsequently, the Food and Supply Officer of Vikaspuri was alerted, and the cylinders were seized in his presence. Further investigations into the operation and its market implications are in progress.
