The Delhi Police has busted a factory-cum-godown allegedly involved in manufacturing and storing counterfeit RO water purifier filters of leading brands and arrested its owner, an official said on Monday.
The accused, identified as Mohd Tabrej, a resident of Shaheen Bagh, was apprehended during a raid at a premises in Pul Prahladpur in southeast Delhi.
Police said over 2,900 fake RO filters bearing the names of reputed brands were recovered and seized from the unit.
According to the police, the action followed a tip-off that counterfeit RO filters were being manufactured, stored and sold from the factory.
Acting on the information, a police team raided the premises on May 27 and found large quantities of fake RO filters, membranes and packaging material allegedly used for branding and distribution.
Police said Tabrej, originally from Bihar’s Nalanda, came to Delhi in 2011 and had earlier worked in the battery business before learning RO servicing. He allegedly set up the factory in a rented premises around eight to nine months ago.
