Bhopal: At least 62 people were arrested after fake milk factories were raided here. The factories reportedly producing “highly toxic synthetic milk” were raided in the Gwalior-Chambal region of Madhya Pradesh on Friday, the Special Task Force of the state police has said.
The raids were carried out at Amba in Morena district and Lahar in Bhind district of the Gwalior-Chambal region. The fake milk was supplied to branded milk units in six states — Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana and Maharashtra.
“For every one litre of the spurious milk manufactured at the three units, 30 per cent milk was used — in combination with refined oil, liquid detergent, white paint and glucose powder,” said officials. Similarly, Paneer also confiscated a large quantity of this adulterated stuff, revealed STF.
The deadly liquid is said to be a cocktail of milk, white paint and shampoo or detergent. Urea was also mixed and the ‘milk’ sold in spurious packaging of two well-known brands. There was no way an ordinary family would make out it was fake. As many as 20 tankers, 11 pickup vans and 2,275kg maltodextrin have been seized in the raid.
