During the interrogation Pukhraj Purohit confessed that, he is native of Rajasthan State and residing at Goshamahal, Shahinayathgunj, Hyderabad since 10 years. 5 years back he used to supply cosmetics, stationery, safety pins and other general items in Begum Bazar area. In this process he met with one Rakesh Jain who collects scrap from the vendors at Begum Bazar and transports it to his scrap shop at Jeedimetla, Medchal Dist. In this process they both gradually developed friendship. One year back they both discussed about their insufficient meagre earnings. They both hatched a plan to earn easy money illegally by manufacturing and selling duplicate Tea Powder.
According their plan Rakesh Jain set up a manufacturing unit in his scrap shop at Jeedimetla and he started procuring the duplicate packets of the branded tea powders from one person by name Mishra @ Singla of Jain marketing in Delhi, who use to visit his shop at Jeedimetla and supply the said counterfeit packing sheets of Chakra Gold, Red Label and 3 Roses to Rakesh Jain, who procured the sub-standard tea powder in loose from Begum Bazar and pack it in the said duplicate packets and supply it to the Pukhraj Purohit.
Pukhraj Purohit took one godown situated at Hindi Nagar, Goshamahal, Hyderabad on rental basis and appointed one Gewar Ram to supply them to the retail outlets. 6 months back Rakesh Jain introduced one of his relative Mahaveer Jain @ Rahul who was running a spurious coconut oil manufacturing unit at Charlapally by packing the oil in the bottles of branded company name of Parachute Hair oil and selling it to retail outlets.
Mahaveer Jain @ Rahul was earlier involved in a similar case at PS Malakpet in the month of November 2016. He procures duplicate parachute empty bottles from one R.K.Gupta of Jain marketing of Delhi and he procures loose spurious coconut oil from Begum Bazar and he fill the said loose oil in the duplicate empty bottles and supply in the market.
