They recycled bottles of the original brands as well as the labels and, as a mark of authenticity, pasted original three-dimensional holograms on the bottles they distributed.A joint raid conducted by the police and the Ghaziabad excise department unearthed the racket operating from a small factory in Bamhetta near Hapur Bypass road.
