The local police have recovered a lot of fabric in its raid.
Surendra Kumar Patil, GM, Siyaram Silk Mills, told that the company was getting information that some firms were making fabric in the name of the company. Following this, they started investigation and found out that one of the firms in Bhilwara was making such fake selvage.
