In total, around 104 product varieties — including 17,500 units like wireless earbuds, Bluetooth earphones, speakers, toys, footwear, and cables — were found to be in violation.
Some of the seized products fall under the Compulsory Registration Scheme, while others require Mandatory Certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
As per the Quality Control Orders (QCOs), any product covered under these regulations cannot be manufactured or sold without a valid BIS license.
The raid was conducted under the leadership of:

During the inspection, the BIS team also educated the warehouse staff on how to check product compliance before allowing sellers to store goods.

Kolkata Police Probe Espionage Angle In Arrest Of Bangladeshi Model Shanta Paul
The officials of the Kolkata Police are probing to figure out whether Shanta Paul, the Bangladeshi model arrested from Kolkata earlier this week on charges of illegally staying in the country after securing fake Indian identity documents, was working as a spy in the country just like Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra. The officials are probing this new angle after learning through her social media account that Paul went to the India-Nepal-China border and recorded a video. Police investigation also revealed that Paul had opened a page on social media called 'Asan Travels Kolkata and Bangladesh' where she was promoting her tourism business. The police officials are also investigating whether Paul took a loan from any state-owned bank in India to open a hotel, based on her Facebook post. A city police insider said that Paul had also travelled to several places in West Bengal and neighbouring Sikkim. "She posted photographs and videos of her visits on social media. As a travel vlogger, she went to Nathu La in Sikkim. There, she took pictures of the India-Nepal-China border. Investigation is on to ascertain whether there are similarities between her case and that of Jyoti Malhotra, as she also used to travel to different places in India as a travel vlogger and take pictures and videos there," the police insider added. Jyoti Malhotra was an Indian travel vlogger, who ran the YouTube channel "Travel with JO". In May this year, Malhotra was arrested by the police under the Official Secrets Act amid the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict. Malhotra was accused of espionage, passing sensitive information to operatives of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). It was learned during investigations that she used to take travel photographs and videos and smuggle those to Pakistan. The Kolkata Police is now investigating to find out whether Shanta Paul also operated similarly to that of Malhotra. Last Monday, the officers from Park Street police station arrested Paul from a flat in Kolkata's Golf Green area in south Kolkata. The police became suspicious after seeing the documents she had provided while applying for a passport. During the arrest, several Bangladeshi documents were recovered from Paul's Golf Green flat. It is learnt that Paul, a model by profession, entered India with a valid visa. However, instead of going back before the expiry of her visa, she managed to fake Indian documents like the AADHAAR card and Voters' ID card for herself during that interim period. After managing those fake identity documents, she started not only staying in Kolkata permanently but also earning substantial amounts through modelling and acting assignments, city police officials probing the case, said. Police have learnt that she had acted in supporting roles in some Bengali and Tamil movies during the last couple of years. She even purchased a property in the southern outskirts of Kolkata, which was jointly owned by her and her live-in partner, a resident of Andhra Pradesh and a Merchant Navy official by profession. Police are now investigating whether Paul, using her presence in the glamour world, had developed any influential connection within West Bengal as well as in other states, by which she was able to operate openly in the glamour and acting world without causing doubts in the minds of anyone. It is learnt that even in Bangladesh, she was quite successful as a model and also had won some awards there. She had earlier worked as a staff member of the Bangladesh-based Regent Airways.

Russian Media Says ‘Indian Govt Did Not Ask Refineries To Stop Buying Oil From Moscow'
Last Updated: After Trump claimed India might have stopped buying Russian oil, reports have surfaced, claiming that New Delhi has not issued any such instructions to refineries. Amid Donald Trump's criticism of New Delhi's energy ties with Moscow, the Russian media reported that the Government of India has not issued any instructions to refineries in the country to stop their purchase of oil from Russia or explore other suppliers. 'The government did not ask refineries to stop buying Russian oil," news agency TASS reported, citing a governmental source. 'No instructions were also given regarding oil imports from other sources instead of Russia," the source added. Earlier in the day, news agency ANI reported, citing sources, that the Indian oil refiners continue to source oil from Russian suppliers. 'Their supply decisions are guided by price, grade of crude, inventories, logistics, and other economic factors," sources told ANI. The latest developments come as US President Trump said on Friday (local time) that he had 'heard" India was going to stop buying oil from Russia, describing the reported move as 'a good step". However, he added that he was unaware if it was true. 'I understand that India is no longer going to be buying oil from Russia. That's what I heard, I don't know if that's right or not. That is a good step. We will see what happens," Trump told reporters.
