Acting on a tip-off, a police team led by the Rebbena Inspector of Police Allam Narendar and Sub-Inspector of Police Bhavani Sen nabbed the five members of the gang while they were allegedly trying to sell the spurious seed to gullible farmers at Paikajiguda village, sources said.

Four accused hail from Kowtala, Narayanapur and Paikajiguda villages in the ndivided Adilabad district and another belongs to Maharashtra, sources added.

They allegedly procured the spurious cotton seed from a person in Maharashtra and split into teams to sell the fake seed in various villages in the erstwhile Adilabad district.
