Acting on actionable intelligence, the Special Operation Group (SOG) conducted a targeted raid on a residential dairy unit in Haripar Mewasa village under Kalavad taluka, uncovering a illicit synthetic milk processing setup. Officers confiscated hundreds of liters of unsafe milk along with large quantities of blending materials.
Surprise Raid at Residential Premises in Haripar Mewasa
The raid targeted a premises located in the Rabarivas area of Haripar Mewasa village, operated by Merubhai Badhabhai Vansh. SOG officers searched the location following reports that adulterated milk was being systematically produced on site. During the search, team members seized 486 liters of suspicious liquid milk, 75 kilograms of vanaspati ghee, and 44 kilograms of milk-making powder.

Upon discovering the substantial quantity of suspect dairy stock, the SOG team alerted the district Food Safety Department. Food safety officers promptly arrived at the scene to initiate formal inspection procedures. The team took official samples of the seized milk, ghee, and milk powder for laboratory analysis to determine exact adulterants. To prevent any further illegal processing or evidence tampering, officials immediately placed the entire facility under official seal.
