Police today seized 32 tonne of chili powder, which they suspect is adulterated, from two lorries near Penugolanu village in Krishna district today.
The trucks had taken a detour to escape police check-post, but were eventually intercepted.
"We seized the lorries as their drivers could not produce any relevant documents for the chili powder," said Sub-Inspector P. Sivaramakrishna.
The drivers were taken into custody while the powder and vehicles were handed over to District Food Inspector.
