Report - Unearthing a Fake Soap Factory at Savar

Fake Soap Factory Unearthed

Hasan Mahmud, Dhaka, 05 April: The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has unearthed an illegal factory producing adulterated soaps and cosmetics items near Savar Bazar in Dhaka yesterday. The factory had been manufacturing low quality soaps for a long time.

Acting on a tip off, RAB team raided a three storied building and seized a huge amount of fake soaps of popular brands. RAB personnel also seized adulterated chemicals, wrappers, empty containers worth five million taka. The elite force detained the Manager of the factory, but the owner managed to flee.

After examining the soaps and cosmetics items, the forensic team opined that the products contain toxic chemicals which can be highly harmful to human skin. Some consumers also spoke against the products. They highly appreciated the drive of RAB to unearth such a fake factory.

Executive Magistrate sealed off the factory. Police started preparing a seizure list. A case has already been filed against the owner of the factory. But this is not all. There are so many other factories still running in other areas. A combined action of government and people can make it possible to unearth all other fake factories.
