Delhi Police recently conducted a raid on a counterfeit toothpaste factory located in Kanjhawala, a neighborhood in northwest Delhi, where they discovered a large-scale operation producing fake Sensodyne toothpaste. The factory was found to be using cheap chemicals and operating under extremely unhygienic conditions. During the raid, police seized over 13,000 tubes of counterfeit toothpaste, including 2,100 filled tubes ready for sale and 10,472 empty tubes with Sensodyne branding. The factory owner, Hariom Mishra, and six workers were arrested for their involvement. This incident is part of a larger trend of food and product adulteration across India, which has led to government initiatives in various states to combat the issue.
