Officials seize truck smuggling 13 tonnes of ration rice and 100 kg of wheat to Kerala, arresting three individuals.
A special team of officials seized a truck with 13 tonnes of ration rice and 100 kg of ration wheat that was being smuggled to Kerala. Three persons have been arrested in this connection on Wednesday night.
Based on a specific alert to the District Supply Officer, D. Anitha, about smuggling of ration rice, a team of officials, led by Special Tahsildar, Civil Supplies, Thanaraj, and Taluk Supply Officers, Appadurai (Srivilliputtur) and A. Gothandaraman (Sivakasi), conducted a vehicle check on Rajapalayam-Sengottai Road at Dhalavaipuram on Wednesday night.
The officials intercepted a truck and the driver, Thangadurai from Tirunelveli, who claimed that he was taking poultry feed from Madurai to Ernakulam in Kerala.
He also showed a bill to substantiate his claim.
However, since his statements were contradictory, the officials decided to check the materials in the truck.
Their suspicions turned out to be true when they found 13,000 kg of ration rice and 100 kg of wheat hidden under poultry feed.
During interrogation, the officials found that the ration rice and wheat had been loaded into the truck from S. Ramalingapuram near here.
