Delhi Police have busted a gang allegedly involved in the manufacturing and selling of counterfeit airbags. The seized airbags were of top models of 16 vehicle brands — namely MG, BMW, Citroen, Nissan, Renault, Volkswagen, Mahindra, Toyota, Tata, Honda, Skoda, Hyundai, Suzuki, Ford, KIA, and Volvo, police said, adding that they have written to the manufacturers as part of their probe.

In a raid last week at two workshops near Mata Sundari Road in Central Delhi, Police seized 921 counterfeit airbags worth approximately Rs 1.8 crore and arrested three accused. Prima facie, police found that suspects were supplying the counterfeit products to local auto workshops.

“While in an authorised workshop, an original pair of airbags replacement may cost anywhere between 1.5 lahks to 2 lahks (USD 1500 to 2000), one can easily get these from a local workshop for about half the price. These airbags were sold mostly to such roadside unauthorised workshops from where they were available for Rs 30,000 to 50,000 (USD 300 to 550),” the official said.
