According to a senior police officer, the raids were carried out based on tip-offs regarding the sale and production of adul terated food products, which tend to spike during festivals.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Aditya Gautam said that on Thursday, a raid was conducted at a factory in Raghubir Nagar where largescale illegal production of sweets like milk cake and kalakand was underway.
