Vadodara News: Rs 10 lakh racket of e-cigarettes busted, two masterminds in the clutches of SOG

The Vadodara Special Operations Group (SOG) has arrested two main accused in an illegal e-cigarette racket worth Rs 10 lakh. On August 21, the SOG team raided and seized a huge quantity of e-cigarettes. During the raid, the main masterminds Sefan Memon and Avesh Patel fled from the spot, who were tracked down by the police and eventually nabbed the duo.

The network was run by a servant at a monthly salary of Rs 5,000

The police investigation has revealed the shocking modus operandi of the accused. Sefan and Avesh themselves handled the entire network from behind the scenes and hired servants at a monthly salary of only Rs 5,000 to avoid legal action. It was through these servants that the retail sale and distribution of illegal e-cigarettes in the city was carried out, so that the police could not easily reach the main accused.

Absconding accused: Investigation intensified to find supply chain

After the raid, both the accused were constantly on the run to evade the police, but the SOG team has nabbed Sefan Memon and Avesh Patel on the basis of technical surveillance and specific information. After the arrest of both the accused, the SOG is now conducting an in-depth interrogation to find out from where these stock of e-cigarettes were brought and how many others are involved in this black marketing in Vadodara.
