In connection with the raid on fuel adulteration racket jointly carried out by the ACAUT along with the police and district administration on June 27 in Dimapur and Chumoukedima, the ACAUT Nagaland has appealed to the Dimapur police to arrest all the kingpins of racket within seven days from the day the raid was carried out.
In a representation to the commissioner of police, Dimapur, the ACAUT Nagaland also demanded thorough probed into the racket and the names of all the kickback beneficiaries be made public.
Sating that some of the kingpins were known to be running several fuel stations in various districts, including Dimapur, ACAUT demanded that the names of all those fuel stations be revealed, sealed and then publicly auctioned off.
It also demanded district administration seize the properties from where the adulteration was being carried out and the property auctioned off once culpability was established.
Alleging that the complicity of the food & civil supplies department in this racket was “beyond doubt”, ACAUT therefore demanded that “this angle should be thoroughly probed and the result made public within one week.”
Besides others, ACAUT further demanded that the seized SK Oil should be distributed to the beneficiaries in all the districts.
Meanwhile, ACAUT said it has lodged FIR against the Food &Civil Supplies department.
As per public demand, the EAC sealed the premises of Nagami petrol pump, Chumoukedima on June 27.
