Businessman Navneet Kalra who is one of the accused in the Khan Market racket is on the run with his family in two luxury cars without any driver.
As per the invoices, each Oxygen concentrator that had been procured in bulk for not more than Rs 14,000 to Rs 16,000 from Hong Kong and China was being sold in India between Rs 50,000- Rs 70,000.
The Delhi Police has also conducted raids at London-based businessman Gaggan Duggal’s farmhouses at Fatehpur Beri and Sainik Farms. As per sources, as many as 650 Oxygen concentrators were issued in the name of Duggal who allegedly took restauranteur Navneet Kalra’s help in peddling them via restaurants in the Khan market amid the Oxygen crisis.
The recovery of over 100 oxygen concentrators came after the arrest of four men from a restaurant-cum-bar in south Delhi’s Lodhi Colony area on Wednesday who was allegedly involved in hoarding and black marketing oxygen concentrators, police said.
With this, a total of 524 oxygen concentrators have been recovered so far,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Atul Kumar Thakur said.
As per the investigation, orders were initially allegedly taken through the X Factor application following which orders from other sources including social media were accepted.
It all started on Thursday when the Delhi Police had seized 532 fire extinguishers and iron gas cylinders of different sizes, 26 oxygen gas cylinder nozzles, two electric grinders used to remove the red paint of the cylinders, three silver colour spray-paint cans, one black paint box, one paint-brush, one pipe-wrench, in an effort to sell them as Oxygen cylinders.
