Jaipur Police Bust Fake Fertilizer Factory Linked to Lawrence Gang and MLA Sanyam Lodha

Jaipur police conducted a raid on a clandestine facility that was producing fake fertilizer, sources said. The operation, carried out in the outskirts of the city, resulted in the seizure of manufacturing equipment and raw materials used for the counterfeit product.
Investigators have linked the illegal unit to the so‑called Lawrence gang, a criminal outfit previously associated with illicit trade in the region. Preliminary inquiries also suggest a possible connection to local legislator Sanyam Lodha, although the MLA has not been formally charged.
Police officials confirmed that several individuals were taken into custody for questioning, and the case has been handed over to the crime branch for further investigation. The raid underscores ongoing efforts by Rajasthan authorities to curb fraudulent agro‑chemical operations that threaten farmers and the state's agricultural sector.
The department has urged the public to report any suspicious manufacturing activities and assured that strict legal action will follow any proven violations.
No injuries were reported during the operation, and the seized premises are slated for forensic examination to establish the full extent of the fraud.
