A trader here was arrested and booked under the stringent National Security Act (NSA) for alleged adulteration of milk products, a senior official said.
District Collector Shashank Mishra invoked the NSA against Kirti Kelkar (41), owner of Krishna Udyog and Bakery, and was arrested by the police, Additional District Magistrate (ADM) R P Tiwari said.
The food department had Tuesday seized 45 kg of spurious desi ghee (clarified butter), 450 kg of vanaspati ghee (hydrogenated vegetable oil), two litres of essence used in ghee and 57 kg of sub-standard chemical used for bakery products.
The Madhya Pradesh government had last week directed the district and police administration to invoke the NSA against those found involved in adulteration of milk, dairy and other food products.
