A joint police‑health team raided a warehouse in Shri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, confiscating 16,394 litres of adulterated ghee valued at about Rs 1.23 crore and arresting three suspects.
A coordinated operation by the Rajasthan police and the state health department targeted a storage facility in Shri Ganganagar on Tuesday. Officials entered the premises after receiving intelligence about the sale of substandard dairy products.
During the raid, investigators seized 16,394 litres of ghee that laboratory tests later confirmed as counterfeit, lacking the required milk fat content. The seized stock is estimated to be worth roughly Rs 1.23 crore in the open market.
Three individuals linked to the operation were taken into custody. The accused are expected to face charges under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act and related criminal provisions. Further forensic analysis will determine the extent of distribution and any potential health risks to consumers.
