The two factories have been marketing Bari brand drinking water and Kuasha brand drinking water using fake BSTI sign and without licence. Cases were also filed against KM Ariful kabir, owner of Bismillah Co., and Md Sayed Ahmed Noman, owner of Kuasha Co, for violating BSTI ordinance. The BSTI team directed the three factories not to produce or market drinking water. Retailers are also asked not to sell the unauthorised products.
