Siya Goyal family's spice, dry fruit shop shut over food safety breaches in Pune
Maharashtra's food regulator has ordered Siya Goyal's family-run Pune shop to stop operations after an inspection found alleged violations. The move sharpens scrutiny around the business as Goyal remains in jail in the Ketan Agarwal murder case.
Maharashtra's food regulator has issued a notice to a Pune spice and dry fruits shop run by the family of Siya Goyal, who is accused in the murder of realtor Ketan Agarwal, asking it to stop business operations over alleged violations of norms, officials said on Wednesday.
The shop, operated by M/s BG Goyal and Company at Market Yard in Pune, has been asked to remain shut until further orders after an inspection by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they said.
According to the FDA, officials inspected the establishment and collected four samples of food products, including turmeric powder sold under the 'Sant' and 'Sadhu' brands, sesame seeds and soybean chunks.
During the inspection, the agency seized 4,172 kg of these products, valued at Rs 8.14 lakh, citing suspected violations related to labelling and possible adulteration. The regulator said the action was taken after the firm was found to have not complied with certain mandatory provisions under the Food Safety and Standards Act. The FDA also said the establishment had failed to make the required corrections in its licence details.
"Considering the violations, a notice has been issued directing the firm to stop its business activities until further orders," an official said. Siya Goyal, 20, and her boyfriend Chetan Chaudhary, 22, are accused of pushing her fiance Agarwal, 25, off a cliff at Lohagad Fort in Pune district during a trek on June 18, leading to his death.
The action against the family-run shop follows the FDA inspection, seizure of products and the notice ordering it to halt operations, while Siya Goyal remains in jail in the murder case involving Agarwal.
