Rajasthan authorities have seized 22,000 litres of suspected adulterated ghee in pre-Diwali raids, leading to the arrest of three individuals.
Rajasthan law enforcement agencies have intercepted a significant quantity of suspected adulterated ghee in a series of raids conducted ahead of the Diwali festival. The operation resulted in the seizure of 22,000 litres of the dairy product, which was found to be of questionable quality.
During the crackdown, police officials detained three individuals involved in the storage or distribution of the tainted ghee. The authorities acted swiftly to prevent the sale of these products in the market during the festive season, when demand for ghee typically surges.
The seized material is now under inspection to determine the extent of adulteration and the specific substances used. The arrested persons are being questioned to trace the source of the supply chain and identify other potential distributors.
This action is part of broader efforts by state authorities to ensure food safety and protect consumers from health hazards associated with adulterated food items during major festivals.
