Pakistani-Made Unauthorised Cosmetics Worth Rs 7 Lakh Seized in Hyderabad
Hyderabad police and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation seized Pakistani-made cosmetic products worth about Rs 7 lakh, including skin-whitening creams and soaps, allegedly imported without required registration. The raid on September 30 targeted shops in Nampally and Habeeb Nagar. Authorities found the products lacked proper import certificates and were among banned items flagged for containing heavy metals beyond permissible limits. Investigations revealed procurement through a Mumbai-based dealer, with local sellers lacking proper purchase documentation. Two cases were registered against five individuals, and the probe continues.
