The Special Operations Group (SOG) of Jamnagar police raided a residential house in Haripar Mevasa village of Kalavad taluka on 14 November, exposing a mini-factory manufacturing adulterated milk. Officials seized and destroyed 486 litres of suspected milk along with raw materials used for adulteration.
Acting against elements endangering public health by preparing and selling adulterated food items in Jamnagar district, the police team conducted the surprise operation at the residence of Merubhai Badhabhai Vansh in the Rabarivas locality of Haripar Mevasa.
Intelligence-Led Raid and Seizure
The operation was carried out under the instructions and guidance of Rajkot Range Inspector General Nirlipt Rai and Jamnagar District Superintendent of Police Dr Ravi Mohan Saini. SOG Police Inspector V.J. Rathod, along with Police Sub-Inspectors L.M. Zher and A.V. Kher, led the patrolling staff in the Kalavad rural area.
During patrolling, SOG personnel Balbhadrasinh Jadeja, Virendrasinh Jadeja, Mayurrajsinh Jadeja, and Narpalsinh Jadeja received joint intelligence that Merubhai Vansh was producing adulterated milk inside his home.
Based on this tip-off, the SOG team raided the premises and confirmed the illegal manufacturing activity. Police recovered approximately 486 litres of suspected milk, 75 kilograms of vanaspati ghee, and 44 kilograms of milk powder from the house, triggering concern in the local area.
Food Safety Action and Destruction of Stock
Recognising the gravity of the offence, SOG officials alerted the Food Safety Department, whose officers rushed to the spot.
A Food Safety Officer collected samples of the suspected milk and sealed them for testing. Following the sampling procedure, authorities destroyed the entire seized stock of suspected milk, vanaspati ghee, and milk powder on the spot using proper disposal methods.
The Food Safety Department has initiated further legal proceedings against Merubhai Vansh.
