Indian Army and Rajasthan Police Bust Counterfeit Military Uniform Racket in SriganganagarPreviousNext

A joint operation by the Indian Army's intelligence units and Rajasthan Police uncovered a counterfeit military uniform racket in Sriganganagar district, Rajasthan, seizing around 1,000 metres of unauthorised Army-pattern combat cloth from multiple shops. The investigation followed a similar seizure in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, traced back to Sriganganagar. Authorities identified a local firm as a key supplier. Officials highlighted the security risk posed by counterfeit uniforms, which could enable impersonation of armed forces personnel. The probe is ongoing to identify the full network involved.
