New Delhi, Dec 18 || In a major crackdown on counterfeit goods, the Inter-State Cell of the Delhi Police Crime Branch has busted a large-scale fake Castrol lubricant oil manufacturing unit operating in the Nangloi area of west Delhi, seizing stock worth Rs one crore.
The operation led to the seizure of nearly 3,950 litres of raw and counterfeit lubricant oil, around 12,000 empty Castrol bottles and buckets, along with machinery and packaging material worth over Rs one crore.
The accused, identified as Sandeep (36), a resident of Nangloi, was arrested from the spot while allegedly supervising the illegal manufacturing process.
Police said the racket was misusing the brand identity of Castrol lubricant oil, thereby violating trademark and copyright laws and deceiving consumers across multiple states.
