The Uttar Pradesh Police has filed cases against a number of businesses for allegedly using falsified paperwork to sell products certified as Halal in order to profit financially in the name of religion. A product’s adherence to Islamic law in terms of preparation is indicated by a Halal certificate.
Among the businesses named in the FIR and against which cases have been filed are Halal India Private Limited in Chennai, Jamiat Ulema Hind Halal Trust in Delhi, Halala Council of India in Mumbai, and Jamiat Ulema Maharashtra in Mumbai.
Shailendra Sharma’s complaint led to the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) in Hazratganj Kotwali. The cases has been registered under section various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
“Unfair profits are being earned by the above-mentioned companies by issuing Halal certificates through forged documents without any authority. Besides, public trust is also being played with. To influence a particular section, these companies are propagating using coded forms and the prescribed standards are also not being followed,” the complainant added.
