New Delhi: Police has arrested a man and busted an illegal unit manufacturing fake protein supplements in Rani Khera village in outer Delhi, officials said Sunday.
The accused was identified as Naveen Kumar alias Banjara, 32, a resident of Haryana.
Police said the arrest followed the ongoing probe after two men were held earlier this month with 150 kg of spurious supplements and counterfeit stickers.
Acting on their disclosures, a team raided the premises and detected a clandestine unit involved in manufacturing fake supplements of reputed brands, the officer said.
During the raid, the police recovered sealed containers of counterfeit products, fake stickers, holograms, empty jars, raw materials such as maltodextrin and flavouring agents, along with manufacturing machines and a QR code printer.
The accused allegedly used low-cost materials to produce fake supplements and supplied them in the market, cheating consumers, police said.
