Mumbai police arrest a 48-year-old man in Kandivali East for allegedly adulterating branded milk and attempting to sell it to customers. The Samta Nagar Police receive a tip and raid his residence around 5:50 am on August 12, 2026, where he is allegedly found mixing impure water into milk packets bearing Amul and Gokul labels. Police say they recover about 74 litres of adulterated milk from the premises.
Authorities also report seizing materials allegedly used to adulterate the milk and counterfeit empty milk pouches with the same brand names. A case is registered under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, along with relevant rules. While one outlet focuses closely on the Samta Nagar arrest and the items found during the raid, another also mentions that investigations in the wider city context have identified related “fake packet” or fraudulent packaging activity, including arrests in Dahisar.
Across reporting, the common point is that police action is framed as prevention of the sale of adulterated dairy products. Further investigation is ongoing, and the authorities’ broader response to food safety violations is referenced in the coverage.
