Etawah, Sep 8 (TNA) At a time when the Uttar Pradesh government claims to be a party with a difference and vouches for zero tolerance on graft, a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has brought shame to it for alleged massive hoarding and black-marketing of diesel.

According to the information, the district administration and police team jointly campaigned against crime and criminals in Etawah district of the state. During this campaign, they exposed the black marketing of diesel worth crores of rupees. The game of black marketing was going on at a dhaba located in Jaswant Nagar of the district, which is said to belong to a BJP leader.

Acting jointly, the team caught the thieves while stealing diesel from 5 diesel tankers of Reliance Company. The stolen 3,000 litres were also recovered from the spot. The team raided and took 17 people into custody. However, the hotel owner fled on information about the raid. More legal action is being taken in the matter.
