The district supply department raided a house in Maharashtra's Nanded and seized ten empty LPG cylinders during its anti-hoarding and black marketing drive, officials said on Monday.

The action followed a tip-off that Maksud Ahmed, a resident of Hanuman Mandir Road, was illegally stocking domestic and commercial cooking gas cylinders at his residence and selling them at inflated prices.

A case was registered under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 and the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Restriction on Use and Fixation of Selling Price) Order 2000. -- PTI
