Vendors selling gutkha, tobacco at Railway Station

At the Pune railway station, vendors selling chikki, biscuits and candies at platform numbers 2,3,4 and 5 also stock gutkha sachets. 

According to sources in the RPF, the sachets are mostly bought in bulk by the kingpins from cities like Gulbarga in Karnataka where tobacco products are not banned.

“They travel to Gulgarga and buy several kilos of gutkha sachets and then make visually and physically challenged boys to sell them on the platforms and inside the trains. The kingpins use these disabled boys as they know the police will be lenient towards them,” said a source.
