The shop is operated by M/s BG Goyal and Company, a firm owned by the family of Siya Goyal (20) who is currently in jail for her involvement in murder conspiracy of her fiance, and is located at Market Yard in the heart of Pune city.

The shop has been asked to stop business operations until further orders following an inspection at the premises by the Food and Drug Administration.

According to the FDA, its officials inspected the establishment and collected four samples of food products, including turmeric powder of ‘Sant’ and ‘Sadhu’ brands, sesame seeds and soybean chunks.

A stock of 4,172 kg of these products, valued at Rs 8.14 lakh, was seized during the inspection due to suspected contravention in labelling and possible adulteration, the FDA said.

The FDA also stated that the establishment had failed to make necessary corrections in its licence details.

Considering the violations, a notice has been issued directing the firm to stop its business activities until further orders.
