Mysuru: Nearly 12 days after the locals and activists exposed the Nandini Ghee falsification racquet in Hosokundur Village in the outskirts of the city, the police made a breakthrough by arresting four accused.
The police said they suspected a few more involvement in the racket, which was excavated on December 16.
The police have confiscated 10 tons of ghee which was faked at that time.
When the incident sent a shock wave among consumers, farmers, and other stakeholders, there was pressure on the police to accelerate the investigation.
Police supervisor R Chetan said the police team led by Dysp Sumit arrested four people.
“Among those arrested, two are named in the FIR themselves.
The fourth is a resident of Mysuru.
Based on the information distributed by the arrest, we will continue the probe,” he said.
He signaled more arrests in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha District President Hosuru Kumar on Tuesday demanded the CBI investigation into the case of Nandini Ghee forgery.
