The recovery comes a day after the police arrested four people and seized 419 oxygen concentrators after conducting raids at Nege Ju Restaurant and Bar in the central market of Lodhi Colony. The owner of the two restaurants is Navneet Kalra and is yet to be brought for questioning as his whereabouts remain unknown.
The concentrators were being sold at exorbitant rates online.
Police said during the raid on Thursday invoices of recovered oxygen concentrators were found in the laptop. Stickers of maximum retail price (MRP) indicating prices of Rs 69,999 per concentrator were also recovered.
Police sources say they are probing into what could possibly be a larger nexus of multiple restaurants.
On Thursday, Bhatia said that during area patrolling, it came to know that Nege Ju Restaurant and Bar having an address at central market Lodhi Colony was found open and some suspicious activity was going on.
