Counterfeit Gram Flour and Pulses Seized in Shahjahanpur Following Trademark ComplaintPreviousNext

Authorities in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, seized counterfeit gram flour and pulses worth approximately Rs 32 lakh following a raid on two firms accused of repackaging products under reputed brand names, including Rajdhani. The operation was initiated after a Delhi-based company filed a complaint about trademark misuse. Officials recovered thousands of kilograms of products, packaging materials, and machinery. Samples have been collected for quality testing, and an FIR has been registered under forgery and trademark laws, with investigations ongoing.
