NAGPUR: Zonal DCP Noorul Hassan and the FDA team seized 553kg of adulterated ‘khowa’ and milk powder worth more than Rs1.73 lakh by raiding a godown at Wadi on Thursday. Wadi police too were present.
In a pre-Diwali action, the adulterated khowa was seized following a tip-off. The khowa was learnt to be mixed with harmful chemicals not permitted for consumption. The seized khowa was used for preparing ‘barfis’ which are in much demand in Diwali.
