Residents of Ekalavya Colony approached the police alleging that plastic rice was being sold at a few shops.

The police forwarded the complaint to the Food Safety Department of the GVMC who in turn sent the samples to State Food Laboratory in Hyderabad. According to Pendurthy police, the residents complained that their children had been suffering from stomach pain and other health related issues after consuming the rice of a particular brand.

The police based on the complaint visited the shop where the people generally buy and the owner had informed that it was the same rice branch that is sold all over Visakhapatnam.
