The PFD has also appointed a deputy director as inquiry officer to investigate the issue further. At the same time, a notice has been served on the flour mill concerned for using fake documents.

Meanwhile, a case has also been registered against the truck driver after the seizure of the 32 tons of flour, said a spokesperson of the PFD.
