Three people have been arrested by the Cyberabad Special Operations Team (SOT) for their role in a seed fraud case. This action was part of a major crackdown on an agriculture-related scam. The suspects were caught while delivering 700 kg of fake seeds meant for farmers. Authorities also seized the transport truck used in the operation.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Aluri Madan, Adarsh, and G. Uday, all residents of Kurnool. According to the police, Madan obtained the counterfeit seeds from sources in Karnataka. Adarsh and Uday were responsible for transporting and distributing them to different locations.
Officials believe that many farmers have been affected by this scam, as they unknowingly purchased low-quality seeds. A police official stated, “This illegal trade is a serious offense, as it cheats farmers and impacts crop yields.”
A case has been registered, and the investigation is ongoing. The police have advised farmers to stay alert and report any suspicious activities related to seed distribution to prevent further fraud.
