Bengaluru, Nov. 27: The Chikkajala police have arrested a 35-year-old man on charges of cheating farmers by renting tractors and then selling them. The police have seized 17 tractors and trailers worth about Rs. 70 lakh.

The incident came to light after Basavaraju, a farmer from Chikkajala who was cheated, filed a complaint with the police last month.
