If you thought buying packaged, branded milk was a sure safeguard against adulteration, think again. The Mulund police have arrested a local milkman for selling branded milk which had been heavily diluted with impure water.

The accused would buy branded milk from shops, or collect empty packets from tea shops and garbage bins and then fill them up with the adulterated milk. They would mix in impure water to increase 30 litres of milk to 100 litres. Pic/Rajesh Gupta
