Patna, October 17, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Police in Motihari, Bihar, have detained two itinerant vendors for questioning following complaints that bedsheets carrying “Made in Pakistan” labels were being sold in the city. Investigators are tracing the source of the products and examining how they entered the local market.
According to East Champaran Superintendent of Police Swarn Prabhat, a similar complaint had been received a few days earlier in the jurisdiction of Raghunathpur police station.
“On Saturday, police received another complaint about the sale of such bedsheets in the Chandmari area, prompting further action,” Prabhat said.
During the investigation, the name of Om Sai Textiles, located at Pandal Chowk in the Banjariya police station area, emerged as a possible source of supply.
The two vendors reportedly told police that they had purchased the bedsheets from the establishment and sold them while travelling through different localities. They claimed that the products were used bedsheets sourced from various parts of India and abroad.
However, the actual origin of the bedsheets and the authenticity of the “Made in Pakistan” labels have not yet been independently established.
SP Swarn Prabhat said investigators were examining how the used bedsheets reached Bihar and identifying those involved in their procurement and distribution.
The inquiry is focusing on the supplier, the alleged role of the textile establishment and other possible links in the supply chain. Police are also seeking to establish who ordered the products and where they were originally sourced.
The investigation is ongoing, and further details about the origin of the bedsheets and any wider distribution network are expected to emerge after verification of the evidence and statements collected by the police.
Earlier, on October 7, two young men were reportedly selling new bedsheets for just Rs 200 in the Raghunathpur police station area. The unusually low price attracted several local buyers.
However, when one customer noticed a tag reading “Made in Pakistan” on a bedsheet, the discovery caused a stir in the area and led to complaints.
