Adilabad Police Arrest Gang Illegally Leasing and Transporting Tractors to Maharashtra
Adilabad police arrested five members of an inter-state gang led by Yogesh Patil from Maharashtra, who targeted farmers struggling with tractor loan repayments.

Local agents in Telangana allegedly helped persuade farmers, receiving commissions for each tractor handed over. Multiple police teams conducted investigations leading to the arrests and recoveries.
