Shivpuri, In Pohri Krishi Upaj Mandi of Shivpuri district, about 30 quintals of fake mustard came in two loading vehicles filled with fake mustard seeds made from black soil, which created a stir among the traders.

Meanwhile, the traders of the market told that the business of fake mustard is being done in the market for the last several days. The traders told that the traders doing the work of sieving are selling this goods by mixing it in the mustard sieves. The traders also told that some kind of chemical is mixed in the fake mustard made from the said soil, due to which it does not break easily, which is fatal for the business world.

The traders told that mustard made from soil has been purchased in Pohri Mandi earlier also, in which we have suffered a loss of lakhs of rupees. And more than a dozen sacks full of fake mustard are still kept, which no one is ready to buy. When the trader from Shivpuri, who came posing as a farmer, was asked, he gave evasive answers and fled from the spot. When the Mandi Secretary was talked to about the above matter, he could not even tell the fine imposed in the Mandi. And instead of taking action against mustard made of black soil, he started giving evasive answers. It appears from this that the black business of fake mustard seeds is being done in the Mandi with the connivance of the Mandi Secretary.
