Kolkata Police seizes 1,400 litres of fake hand sanitizer, 2 arrested
Kolkata Police has seized 1,400 litres of fake hand sanitizer from a godown in the city. The Enforcement Branch (EB), along with the Anti-Rowdy Squad (ARS) of the Kolkata Police, raided two locations in central Kolkata on Thursday and recovered the spurious sanitizers.
Acting on a tip-off about the manufacture and sale of spurious sanitiser in Ezra Street locality under Hare Street police station limits, sleuths of the city police conducted a raid in the area and seized 1,400 litres of such sanitiser from two shops. Several plastic containers with fake sanitizer stored in them were recovered.
The EB has been on the lookout for fake sanitizers in the market, given the huge demand due to the coronavirus outbreak. Police have arrested two persons, Rajib Punjabi (43) and Jiauddin Basha (43) who allegedly ran the factory without valid documents.
“There was no label or manufacturing certificate on the product. Also, they could not produce valid documents of the products thus prepared to mix different chemicals injurious to human life,” said a top police officer.
