This UP Factory Was Making Fake Spices With Ingredients like Donkey Dung and Hay
Police in Uttar Pradesh s Hathras district raided a spice manufacturing unit on Tuesday after a tip-off suggested that the factory had been producing adulterated spices using bogus ingredients.
According to a report in Times of India, the factory owner named Anoop Varshney has been arrested and the factory itself has been sealed.
During the raid in the Navipur area of the district, the police found several spices which included red chilli powder, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric and others.
