In Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, During a visit to a police post, District Magistrate Jitendra Pratap Singh got handed a bottle of what turned out to be fake ‘Bilseri’ water. This bizarre moment kicked off a huge operation to deal with counterfeit bottled water in the area.
Singh and Superintendent of Police Arpit Vijayvargiya checked out the bottle and quickly spotted it didn’t have the proper food license number. So, he called in the Food Safety Department to investigate further.
Operation Underway
Assistant Food Safety Commissioner Manvendra Singh jumped on the case, tracing the fake bottle back to a shop in Gauripur. Turns out, the shop owner, Bhim Singh, was running an illegal warehouse right from his home! During a raid, authorities found a whopping 2,663 bottles trying to fool customers, all looking like the real Bisleri labels.
Once they snatched the counterfeit bottles, they didn’t just sit there. Nope! They got smashed up with a bulldozer—talk about making a statement! Plus, they shut down the warehouse for operating without a license, and Bhim Singh is in hot water.
Health and Safety First
Things got even crazier when investigators discovered these fake products were coming from Haryana and spreading into shops all over Baghpat. In response, the District Magistrate is forming a special team to tackle this issue directly. “Selling counterfeit goods not only tricks customers but also puts their health at risk,” Singh said. He’s serious about cleaning up these shady practices.
Finally, the District Magistrate is calling on locals to stay alert and report any sketchy food products. It’s a team effort to tidy up the market and keep everyone safe.
