An official of EB said that acting on a tip-off, police, along with executives of Reliance, raided the shop yesterday and found around 110 rolls of counterfeit VIMAL suitings rolls and ready-to-stitch boxes.
The person who was present in the shop claimed he was not the owner. Police will now issue a notice to the owner under Sec 41 of CrPC for deposing before EB, the official told PTI.
Paresh Naik of Reliance Textile Division said this was the first time that counterfeit VIMAL products were seized in Kolkata.
Naik said the company filed an FIR against the shopowner.
