Balasore: A special squad of Balasore police today arrested six middlemen, 3 each from DHH and RTO premises while seizing Rs 16000 cash and six mobile phones from their possession.
In order to curb brokerage activities at various government offices and hospitals, the District Police has launched “Mission Middleman”.
Today, 6 persons who were found involved in brokering have been arrested by the police from the district headquarters hospital and regional transport office.
