We do not know if someone took some of it away. We were not responsible for the raid or for keeping the confiscated product safe," said a senior police officer requesting anonymity.

Delhi health minister Kiran Walia said the police refused to accept the papers and the confiscated material from the SDM and his team.

"It is general practice that whenever such food products are seized and the owners disappear, our teams take the sample and the police take over the goods. Our officials requested the senior police officers to take care of the goods seized but they refused. The police even refused to accept letter from our officials," Walia said.
She said the sample of the spurious khoya has been sent for testing.
"Our department will also take up the matter with senior police officials tomorrow," she added.
