The Story in Brief
The Hyderabad Task Force has arrested four persons for allegedly running an illegal mini gas cylinder manufacturing and transport network. Police seized 750 cylinders, seven manufacturing machines and an SUV from a godown in Rajapur village and a car on Gaganpahad road in Shamshabad. The three initial suspects were handed over to the RGIA police, who registered a case.
The arrests began on August 12 when Rajendranagar Task Force intercepted a car and arrested Mohammad Abdul Hannan, who was allegedly transporting 400 cylinders. Further questioning led to Mohammad Bholesha, then Mohammad Shakeel, and finally Md. Dilshad at the Rajapur godown. A separate case was registered at Rajapur police station. Police advised people to purchase cylinders only from authorised dealers.
The Indian Opinion
While the task force’s swift action is commendable, it raises questions about how such a large-scale illegal operation evaded detection. Some may blame lax enforcement, but ordinary consumers also need to verify sources before buying gas cylinders. The real test will be whether the investigation uncovers a larger network of suppliers and buyers across Hyderabad and beyond.
