Mysuru/Bengaluru, Nov. 27 -- After bail, 2021 Mysuru Hosahundi ghee gang resurfaces in Tamil Nadu

A Mysuru couple, believed to be at the centre of a large-scale counterfeit Nandini ghee racket, has been arrested by Central Crime Branch (CCB) in Bengaluru.

The accused - Shivakumar, 45 and his wife Ramya, 40 - were taken into custody yesterday as part of the ongoing investigation that earlier saw a major breakthrough on Nov. 14, when CCB sleuths raided a Chamarajpet storage facility and seized 8,136 litres of fake Nandini ghee. That raid had led to arrest of four others, including distributor Mahendra, his son Deepak and another accused, Muniraju.
