Cylinders Sold At 5x Price Near Police Station In Shocking Sting

An undercover probe by India Today exposes a widespread LPG black marketing racket operating openly across Outer and East Delhi. Just metres from Alipur Police Station, agents like Ankit were caught selling cylinders for up to Rs 4,500—nearly five times the legal price. From Alipur to Maujpur, multiple operators, including Sitaram and Sanjay Jain, revealed a well-organised supply chain. With shortages driving demand, illegal refilling and resale are thriving in plain sight, raising serious questions about enforcement and the growing fuel crisis in the capital.
