Fake Nandini Ghee Case: The Central Crime Branch (CCB) police on Wednesday arrested a man and his wife, identified as kingpins of the fake 'Nandini' ghee racket in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The couple, Shivakumar and Ramya, was operating a manufacturing unit. They were running a network of fake ghee under the brand 'Nandini', owned by the Karnataka Co-operative Milk Producers' Federation (KMF). They were selling fake ghee across the state.
The crucial development comes days after a fake 'Nandini' ghee racket was busted in Bengaluru. The CCB officials conducted a raid during which officials found large, high-tech machinery used to produce adulterated ghee. NDTV reported that Shivakumar and Ramya were using advanced industrial equipment to manufacture fake 'Nandini' products on a large scale. The officials seized all the machinery used in the production of adulterated items.
