Pune, 1st April 2025: The Ambegaon police have uncovered a warehouse stocked with counterfeit household products, including fake phenyl, mosquito repellent liquids, and tea powder falsely branded under well-known company names. These counterfeit goods had been circulating across the city for the past few months.

The raid was conducted following intelligence from an agency responsible for safeguarding companies’ copyright rights.

Based on a complaint filed by Ashfuddin Inamdar (41) from Chinchwad, a representative of Assure IP Protection (Delhi), the police registered a case against Ubaid Asif Shaikh (20) from Ambegaon Khurd. During the operation, officers seized fake Harpic, Lizol, All Out mosquito repellent liquid, and Tata Agni tea worth approximately ₹1.6 lakh. These products were being distributed to local shops, with many shopkeepers willingly stocking them in exchange for higher commissions.
