Once again, a huge bust of adulterators and counterfeiters making fake goods has been made in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, which has revealed another painful and shocking picture of playing with the health of the general public. In the joint action of the police and the Food Safety Department, a sensational racket has been exposed which was carrying out the entire conspiracy under the cover of an isolated and closed house within the city. At this secret location, duplicate goods were being prepared from substandard material using the names of well-known and reputed tobacco and pan masala companies of the country and their identical looking fake wrappers. During this raid, the police recovered a huge quantity of fake pan masala, packaging material, wrappers and goods preparing machines and equipment worth about Rs 5 lakh from the spot. Two main accused involved in this illegal business have been arrested from the spot, based on their interrogation, the search for other members of this entire syndicate has been intensified. Such cases in the capital have once again raised deep concern over how people’s lives are being openly played with in the pursuit of profit.
Illegal business game was going on using closed house
In this case of the capital Lucknow, the fraudsters had adopted a very clever method to deceive the people, under which they chose a residential area where there was less movement of outsiders and the house generally appeared closed. The people nearby did not even realize that inside the house which they considered deserted or empty, an illegal factory manufacturing fake goods worth crores was running overnight. Smugglers and adulterants often target such deserted or rented houses so that they can avoid the attention of the police or local administration and carry out their nefarious plans without any fear. Initial investigation by the police has revealed that the accused were involved in this business for a long time and were supplying this fake goods in a very clever manner in the markets of Lucknow and also in the surrounding districts. The revelation of this black business going on inside a closed house has shocked the local residents that such a huge illegal activity was being carried out in their neighborhood without any noise.
Deadly poison was made from wrappers and substandard ingredients of big companies.
This gang was fully active in taking advantage of the demand for genuine and expensive paan masalas of popular brands sold in the market, which used very poor quality ingredients, aromatic chemicals and cheap raw materials to produce authentic products. A large quantity of original wrappers and identical foils of the reputed companies whose names and logos were being used by these fraudsters have been seized from this house. This type of fake pan masala and tobacco can prove to be extremely dangerous and poisonous for health because no health standards or cleanliness is taken care of in its manufacturing. The chemicals and substandard ingredients used in it directly cause severe harm to the human body, mouth and stomach organs, due to which the risk of fatal diseases like cancer increases manifold. When such fake products are sold in the markets at low prices, the common customer does not understand the subtle difference between genuine and fake and unknowingly takes a huge risk with his health.
Goods worth Rs 5 lakh recovered and two vicious accused arrested
During this prompt and precise action by the police and administrative team, illegal and adulterated goods worth approximately Rs 5 lakh were completely seized from the spot, which included finished goods as well as semi-finished goods and packaging machines. The police are strictly interrogating both the arrested accused to find out to which other cities or states the links of this network extend beyond Lucknow. In such cases, not only two or three people are involved, but an entire organized gang works behind it, which silently transports these goods to the markets through wholesalers and retailers. The police is now also investigating the horoscopes of all those local shopkeepers and suppliers who used to buy goods from this illegal factory and sell them to the general public. This strict action of the administration and the police has created a stir among the adulterators, but what is needed is that such strict legal action should be taken against such criminals so that in future no one can muster the courage to play with people’s lives like this.
