Indian police investigate‘counterfeit’Pepsi products

2015/06/30

Police in India claim they have received a complaint that counterfeit bottles of Pepsi have been sold in Indian capital city New Delhi and that they have carried out raids in an attempt to clamp down on the practice.


Pinkerton, a private security company, warned Delhi Police that “unscrupulous persons and firms” had been “resealing and refilling” counterfeit bottles of Pepsi. He also worried that due to those alleged illegal activities the health of the innocent public would be at stake.


A senior police official said that there are several firms preparing fake Pepsi products and that he or she suspects such firms have arrangements with small local shops across New Delhi.


The case has been transferred to the District Investigation Unit.
