Tamilnadu:150 kg of Gutka tobacco products have been seized in Tirupur in the last two days. Also, the police inspector and the deputy police inspector who did not register a case against Gutka were sacked. Gutka products were banned in Tamil Nadu with the aim of making Tamil Nadu a tobacco-free state. If any store sells banned tobacco products such as gutka, notice will be given first. Failure to do so will result in a fine. The store will then be closed and sealed.

The police said that if there are any more tobacco related complaints, the public can call the WhatsApp number 9444042322. In this context, the Tirupur District Food Safety Officers, along with the Corporation Health Officers and the Metropolitan Police conducted a raid on shops selling counterfeit Gutka products in the Tirupur metropolitan area last evening. In it, 20 shops selling Gutka products banned by the Tamil Nadu government were sealed in various parts of the city, including Uthukkuli Road, Kumaran Road and Mangalam Road. Police also seized about 150 kg of Gutka items stored for sale. A further 32 people were arrested.

According to the police, the sale of Gutka, a tobacco product banned by the Tamil Nadu government, is a crime under the law. Individuals involved in such criminal activities are being arrested. Shops selling tobacco products will be sealed with coupons, Gutka said, adding that stern action will be taken against those selling tobacco products. Tiruppur Municipal Commissioner of Police Vanitha has sacked Northern Police Criminal Investigator Jayasekar and Central Police Assistant Inspector Pandithurai for failing to register a case against 6 kg of tobacco products seized at the Andipalayam check post last month.
