Panaji, March 7 (IANS) Police have arrested three people posing as Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) representatives and trying to sell rice processing technology for several crores of rupees to prospective buyers, a Goa Police spokesperson said on Saturday.

The accused Etheeq Ahmed and Keshav Murti, both from Bengaluru and Ajay Kumar from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, have been arrested and booked for cheating at the Anjuna police station, the spokesperson told reporters here.
