A trader named Khairul Islam was arrested in Haropara village of Bhangura upazila, Pabna, for producing fake milk. A mobile court led by Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive Magistrate Mizanur Rahman sentenced him to six months of imprisonment and imposed a fine of one lakh taka. The operation took place late Saturday night.

During the raid, authorities seized fake milk, soybean oil, and two machines used in the production process. According to the report, Khairul had been manufacturing fake milk using harmful jelly, soybean oil, and other ingredients, which he supplied to a local sealing center of a company named Pran.

The mobile court’s action highlights ongoing efforts to curb the production and distribution of adulterated food products in the region.
