In February this year, Enforcement Branch officials collected samples of powdered spices from various shops. The report of that sample was submitted on 22 May.
Detectives know that almost every spice is harmful to human health. Among those spices are cumin, turmeric, chilli, coriander etc. After that, the enforcement branch raided various spice factories in the big market area of Posta.
After the arrest, the detectives came to know that the shopkeepers were preparing turmeric powder at the rate of 60 rupees per kg. That yellow, chilli powder is selling in the market for 120 rupees. Talking to Poster and another spice trader about this, he said, They have to be made according to their needs. Otherwise I will not be able to do business.
Enforcement detectives found a large number of industrial dyes in those spice factories. They have got wood powder starting from metallic yellow to mix with turmeric. Which is basically mixed with cumin powder.
