abandoned along with some constituents, which is used to make fake oil. We seized
them immediately. As we haven't received any claimants, we are not proceeding
with the investigations," said Ved Prakash, Additional Collector, Gwalior. "Yesterday,
the clarified butter samples from the Chambal Diary were sent to the labs for
tests. Investigations would be done once the report comes," he added. Almost 100
