35-yr-old man involved in illegal manufacturing of spurious pesticides held

The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police has arrested a 35-year-old man allegedly involved in illegal manufacturing, storing and selling of spurious pesticides in the national Capital. The accused has been identified as Atul Singhal, a resident of Rohini.

According to R K Singh, the Additional Commissioner of Police, EOW, a complaint was filed by the authorized representative of UPL Limited – the manufacturer of agro-chemicals in India, including Quickphos.

“The complainant alleged that the accused was manufacturing, stocking and selling counterfeit product fumigant-insecticide aluminium phosphide under the brand name ‘Quickphos’ in Delhi. Aluminium phosphide has been banned for sale in India since 2001,” said the Additional CP.

“Singhal used to package and stock up counterfeit fumigant-insecticide aluminium phosphide under the brand name ‘QuickPhos’ – the brand name of the complainant company in violation of its copyrights and trade mark rights. He has been involved in such illegal activities for the last three years,” said the additional CP.
