They were selling it at ₹5,000 each; 36 devices recovered
Three men were arrested for allegedly selling oxygen flow meters at exorbitant rates in north Delhi’s Burari, police said on Wednesday.
With the arrest of Karanjeet Singh (20), who worked at a medical store, and Bhanu (21), both residents of Burari, police claimed to have recovered 36 oxygen flow meters, which were being sold for ₹5,000 each, they said.
Since there is an acute shortage and high requirement of oxygen flow meters in the market due to COVID-19, the duo took advantage of the situation to make a quick buck. They purchased oxygen flow meters from a resident of U.P.’s Meerut named Shafiq and later sold the equipment at ₹5,000 per piece, according to police.
