Former Sales Engineer Under Scanner For Supplying Fakes

During routine coordination with project officials, the company discovered that some pipes used in the field were falsely advertised as R-Drain products by unauthorized suppliers. Later, during the field inspection, it was determined that such materials were stocked and in use.

Their investigation revealed that the materials were allegedly supplied by Bengaluru-based firm Sankalpa Infra Solutions, whose owner was represented by Parichay EN, in collusion with a former sales engineer of the complainant company. They confirmed that the pipes were not produced by the original company and did not meet the approved specifications. Counterfeit products also feature stickers and superficial markings that mimic the brand, while genuine materials have integrated branding.

The complainant, who is the company’s regional manager, stated that the former employee, after resigning, was suspected of misusing confidential information about customers and projects and incentivizing buyers by offering lower prices while falsely guaranteeing genuine supply. The defendant also allegedly attempted to remove the materials upon detection. Further investigation is ongoing.

Shankaraiah, for the steps taken to ensure that illegal sacrifice does not take place,” said Sreekutty Raje, Chief Coordinator, Atrocity Response. “All religions enjoin compassion, and choosing kindness over sacrifice is true worship of God’s creation.”

He also cited provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which stipulates that killing animals illegally may attract imprisonment, fine or both.
