Fake desi ghee sold under the Saras and Krishna brands was seized in a Jaipur factory raid. Police confiscated over a thousand kilos of adulterated ghee, which could cause serious health problems.

Jaipur residents, beware! Whether it's Diwali or any other festival, the most commonly used food item has been found to be adulterated. We're talking about desi ghee, which was being sold for six hundred to seven hundred rupees per kilo but turned out to be fake. It was packaged in containers of the two most popular brands in not just Jaipur but all of Rajasthan.

Black marketing by selling cheap ghee
The Muhana police station in Jaipur reported that a factory in the Keshavwala area was raided this morning. It had been operating for about a year. Fake desi ghee was being packaged in Saras and Krishna brand containers. Shopkeepers were selling this ghee for up to a hundred rupees cheaper so that they could sell it in larger quantities. Over a thousand kilos of ghee have been seized from here. This is a major action in Jaipur before the festival.
