The factory was being run by Ashok Kumar, a resident of Mauli Jagran, Chandigarh, who has been arrested by the Mohali police after the registration of a case under Sections 272, 273 and 420 of the IPC against him at the Balongi police station here. The factory, which was being run without a name and the required licence, has also been sealed by the district health authorities here. The spurious milk products were being prepared in unhygienic conditions.
