“We have come across cases in which people are carrying food packets in cars and two-wheelers and seized many such vehicles. On Tuesday, a BMW car was seized near the Bommanahalli Signal. The driver claimed that he was distributing food to the needy, and around 10 food packets were found in the car,” a police officer said.
