How the Scam Was Executed
According to police officials, the accused cleverly altered the registration number of a truck to avoid detection. Using this tactic, he managed to divert a large quantity of rice and sell it illegally in the market.
The rice, reportedly meant for distribution through official channels, was instead siphoned off for personal profit.
Truck Number Tampered to Avoid Suspicion

Police say this was a planned attempt to exploit loopholes in the monitoring system.
