On Monday, the Pimpri-Chinchwad police raided two shops—Ganesh Trade and Mukesh Kirana—in Kalewadi Fata, Wakad, and confiscated fraudulent cigarettes in gold flake packs.

A team of police officers and representatives from India Tobacco Company Limited (ITC) searched two businesses where subpar cigarettes were being created after receiving a tip. The police arrested two people for the infraction and seized phoney gold flake cigarettes from the company that were valued at Rs 97,700.
