In the Eastern region, the Suhum Police Command has made a significant discovery – a warehouse containing considerable amounts of tampered sugar and cooking oil.
The bags of sugar found in this warehouse have been illicitly mixed with sand, which is cleverly positioned beneath the bags and concealed beneath authentic sugar.
Similarly, the extensive supplies of cooking oil present have been diluted with water.
Thanks to police intelligence, one individual was apprehended during the operation.
Currently, the police are in the process of assessing the inventory to ascertain the precise quantities of these items held within the warehouse, situated in the vicinity of the Dr. Marvel Clinic area.
Reports indicate that the suspects have been distributing these counterfeit products to unsuspecting customers outside the Suhum township.
Their deceptive activities have led to the defrauding of an undisclosed number of store proprietors across various parts of the Eastern Region.
