Ghaziabad:
The police arrested seven persons from the Siyani gate area in Ghaziabad yesterday for allegedly organising betting on vegetable prices.
According to the police, the seven duped people by issuing a likely rate card of vegetable prices for the next day.
The seven accused - Kuldeep, Pradeep, Krishan Kumar, Anil Kumar, Dinesh, Mahender and Janaradan - all aged between 20 and 30, were arrested late last night and efforts are on to nab their accomplices, the police said.
"Recently there has been a steep increase in vegetable rates and making use of the opportunity, the accused used to hold bets on the rates," a senior police officer said.
Police teams will be deployed in market areas to ensure that no such activity is reported from there, he said.
