According to police officials, the seized products were a mix of different cosmetic products like kajal sticks, mascara, lipsticks, eyeliners, and more.
Five persons involved in the alleged duplication and sale of cosmetic products of Hindustan Unilever’s personal care brands Lakmé and Elle 18 — worth over Rs 9 lakh — were nabbed by the Ahmedabad Crime Branch Sunday, officials said.
“These duplicated products are usually dumped wholesale from Delhi or China, and they are brought to states like Gujarat to be sold to the masses. Among the duplicated products, the accused had some products which are discontinued by the company,” said FB Pathan, police inspector, Ahmedabad Crime Branch.
