Unit adulterating milk, honey detected in city

South zone police detected an adulterated milk and honey manufacturing unit during a cordon and search in the wee hours of Saturday in the Old City. Police rounded up around 20 rowdysheeters and seized vehicles without documents.

The cops said the operation was conducted with the help of a route map created using a Google maps application. South zone DCP V. Satyanarayana said that for the first time the police plotted the suspects’ location using geo tagging. “Using this process we can round up suspects based on address and avoid inconvenience to the public. Cordon and search operations will be conducted frequently as it had brought crime down and has created a sense of security,” he said.

The operation was conducted by around 250 cops in Barcas, Vattapally and Kamathipura located under Chandrayanagutta, Falaknuma and Kamathipura police stations.

A milk adulteration unit was seized in Kamathipura. Police said its owners had a dairy farm with nearly 10 buffaloes. They supplied buffalo milk and also sold adulterated milk prepared by mixing milk powder in milk. They also manufactured curds using the adulterated milk. In Vattapally, a bogus honey unit was seized. The unit used to mix jaggery in water and boil it to make it a concentrate and then sold it as honey. Police also sealed two slaughter houses. The cops nabbed 21 rowdy sheeters, 65 bikes and four lethal weapons. A milk vendor allegedly attempted to rape a 17year-old school dropout in Hayathnagar on Friday night. However, the assailant Bikshapathi, fled, when the girl raised an alarm and bit him. Police arrested Bikshapathi.

Police said Bikshapathi Yadav, 32, a resident of Kuntloor village, runs a small dairy farm and supplies milk to nearby villages.

The victim, who had completed SSC and was staying at home, was going to meet her friend nearby. Bikshapathi saw her while she was passing by his farm. “He took her forcibly to a graveyard, slapped her and tried to rape her. But when she raised an alarm and bit him he fled,” inspector J. Narender Goud said.

Based on a complaint from the girl’s father a case was filed and Bikshapathi was arrested.
