Nashik Police Seize 88.36 Lakh Urea, Arrest Two
Police in Nashik found a hidden stash of cheap urea that was meant for farmers.
They raided a place called Vishnunagar and took the urea and a Tata truck.
Two men, Dnyaneshwar and Sagar, were arrested for trying to sell the urea for money.
The police say the men were cheating the government and farmers.
The case is now in court and police are looking for more people who might have helped.
Lasalgaon Police raided Vishnunagar and seized 88.36 lakh rupees worth of subsidised urea and a Tata truck.
Two men, Dnyaneshwar Dagu Pawar and Sagar Kishor Garad, were arrested for the illegal sale of the urea.
The raid followed a tip received on August 1, 2026, about a stock of subsidised urea stored for black‑market sale.
A case was registered under the Essential Commodities Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
