The CM flying squad has busted a Manesar company that was illegally storing and selling biodiesel without a valid licence. The team seized over 30,000 litres of oil and also took samples. An FIR has been registered at IMT industrial police station, Manesar.

According to Inspector Krishna Kumar of the CM flying squad, the company was running by the name of Arohi Petrochem at Plot No. 61 in Sector 7 of the IMT, Manesar. It stored biodiesel in very large tanks without government permission or a valid licence.

During investigation, about 30,000 litres of oil was seized. Company owner Lokesh Kumar was asked to show documents, but he could not produced any.

Following a tip-off, DSP Inderjeet Yadav formed a special team led by Inspector Krishan Kumar, which conducted the raid along with the officials of food and supply, fire and measurement departments.
