Puri, Odisha, Jun 3 : In a major enforcement action, Nilkamal’s Legal Team, in coordination with local police authorities, successfully raided two shop-cum-manufacturing units in Puri that were illegally producing and selling counterfeit Neelkamal mattresses.

The operation led to the confiscation of over 150 fake mattresses and more than 4,000 duplicate labels falsely bearing the Nilkamal’s name.

Following a formal complaint, the raids were conducted with the support of Pipili Police Station, led by Investigating Officer Ms. Surma Swai.

At the unit operated by Mr. S.K. Abutair, the authorities seized:

●            135 counterfeit mattresses
