Two traders have been booked in separate cases in Maharashtra's Dhule district for allegedly stocking and selling cosmetic products made in Pakistan, the import of which is banned in India.
Two FIRs were registered on Friday after the Crime Branch raided two locations and seized "made-in-Pakistan" personal care products, including whitening creams, soaps, serums and beauty packs, worth ₹61,000.
Accused Kailash Devanand Nankani (50) and Fazlu Rehman Salim Ansari (32) have been booked under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and the Drugs and Cosmetics Act for dealing in prohibited goods and cheating customers.
Following the May 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade had put a ban on all direct and indirect imports of goods originating from or exported by Pakistan.
