Delhi Police Bust Fake ENO And Nescafe Racket, Over 1.5 Lakh Counterfeit Sachets Seized

New Delhi: Delhi Police have done a major crackdown on more than one lakh counterfeit ENO sachets and 50,000 fake Nescafe coffee sachets. Manufacturing and packaging fake branded food and healthcare products in a highly organised racket was being carried out. 

This led to major bust at Madhu Vihar by the Cyber Cell and SR, Crime Branch, resulting in arrest of four accused. During the operation, two illegal manufacturing units were raided, officials said in an X post. 

In the raid along with fake coffee and antacid sachets, police seized filing machines, raw materials and large quantities of packaging material which were used to replicate the original products. Through the recovered products it signals that the operation was being carried out at scale through local vendors in the area. 

Since both these brands are highly used in Delhi, the manufacturing and sale of such counterfeit items raises serious concerns about consumer safety. 

Users were left bizarre when they found out what they were actually consuming.
