The other four persons arrested during the operation are Ashok, Ajay, Arvind Kumar and Rampur.
DCP (Outer District) M N Tiwari said that the preparation of mawa was being done in a very unhygienic and unhealthy condition. Prepared Mawa was smelling stinky.
"The premise was totally unhygienic, being hazardous to the health and precious lives of human beings. The festival of Diwali and high demands of sweets are serious points of concern due to such adulterated and substandard products," Tiwari said.
