2.3 Crore Litres Of Synthetic Milk Made With Detergent Powder: Shocking Scam Exposed In Maharashtra

A highly shocking revelation has emerged from the investigation conducted by the police and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) into the notorious milk adulteration case in Bhoom taluka of Dharashiv district, Maharashtra. Analysis of the seized sales registers of the accused has revealed that approximately 2,30,470 kilograms of low-quality milk powder were used for adulteration over the last six months. Using this massive quantity of milk powder, approximately 23,04,070 litres of synthetic (artificial) milk was prepared, with an estimated value pegged at 9 crore 21 lakh 62 thousand 800 rupees. The most alarming aspect revealed during the investigation is that the accused used to mix 10 litres of synthetic milk into every 100 litres of pure milk (representing a 10% rate of adulteration). Based on this 10% ratio, officials highly suspect that a total of more than 2.3 crore (23 million) litres of adulterated milk was supplied to various parts of Maharashtra from the milk collection centres in the Bhoom area
