The raid was conducted at the Shyam trading company, Quazi Camp in the city.The food inspectors sealed a factory of Ram Kumar Bhurani and Raheez Khan and seized raw material weighing 100 quintals from there. The factory is located behind the Reliance petrol pump at Qazi Camp, Berasia road."The duo was allegedly producing adulterated ghee by mixing dalda, vanaspati and soyabean oil and supplying it to nearby small villages," food inspector DK Verma said, adding, "They had started this business a month ago. Even residents had no clue about business of adulterated ghee being run from here."The administration has filed a case against the accused under the Food Safety and Standard Act 2006.In a similar incident, the Additional District Magistrate Court of Gwalior had passed an order against them and fined them with Rs 22 lakh for adulteration of food products last year. This fine was slapped on December 2 last year. Before slapping the fine, these businessmen were also booked under the Food Safety and Standard Act 2006. It was perhaps the maximum fine in the country.
