Sardarpur (Madhya Pradesh): A special police squad has finally succeeded in arresting the main accused and his associate for illegally trading in biodiesel on Saturday.

The concerned police station-in-charge Ratanlal Meena and beat-in-charge Raju Makwana had been suspended with immediate effect for dereliction of duty in this regard.
A case was registered against Amin and land owner Mohan Narayan and the two were on the run since the incident.
To crack the case, the police had constituted a special team led by SDOP Ramsingh Meda.

He was later sent to central jail on Saturday. During the investigation, the administration got to know that his brother-in-law Rayees was also involved in the business.
