Rice, pilfered from PDS in Tamil Nadu, is being channelled through an informal network to reach the neighbouring States of Kerala and Andhra Pradesh, and even further afield. Given to card-holders for free in the State, it sells for as much as ₹55 a kg after being polished in Kerala. At times, it even comes back to the State, flaunting tags of superior brands. An investigation by The Hindu finds that police raids have just managed to scratch the surface of what seems to be a mafia-style racket.
