Hyderabad: Police busted an unhygienic bakery unit in Tappachabutra and arrested one person for manufacturing food products without proper licences.
The Commissioner’s Task Force (Golconda Zone), along with Tappachabutra Police, conducted a raid at “Chand Bakery” in Natraj Nagar, Jhirra.
Officials arrested Syed Khadeer (42), who was running the unhygienic bakery unit without valid food, trade or labour licences.
During the inspection, teams found that the bakery operated in poor sanitary conditions. They also noted the absence of basic fire safety measures.
Unhygienic bakery unit supplied products across Hyderabad
Police seized bakery products and raw materials worth ₹2.77 lakh from the premises.
The seized items included maida bags, sugar, dalda cartons, sauce cartons, coconut powder, cake powder, cooking oil and bread stock. Officers also seized a weighing machine and other equipment.
Investigators found that the accused supplied these products to kirana stores, cafes and hotels across Hyderabad.
Officials said the accused used poor-quality materials and unsafe methods to maximise profits. As a result, such food items can pose serious health risks to consumers.
Based on the evidence, police registered a case under relevant sections of the BNS at Tappachabutra Police Station.
Further investigation is underway.
