Banned Imported Cigarettes Worth Rs 1 Crore Seized In Delhi

Police in Delhi caught people selling cigarettes that are not allowed in India.

The cigarettes were made in another country, Indonesia.

Their packets did not have the health warnings that Indian law says every cigarette pack must carry.

Because the warnings were missing, selling them in India is against the law.

Police received a secret tip about a delivery in the Karawal Nagar area.

They set a trap and caught three men on a motorcycle who were carrying the cigarettes.

The men told police who their supplier was, and police arrested the supplier too.

Police then searched a warehouse and found many more cigarettes.

In total, they seized 282,640 cigarettes worth more than 1 crore rupees.

Police are still investigating to find where the cigarettes came from and who else may be involved.
