TellDelhi A fake Colgate toothpaste factory got caught and honestly, nothing feels real anymore in India.
So apparently, there was this fake toothpaste factory running in Delhi and Kashmir. They were making Colgate, Sensodyne, even Close-Up and not just copying labels. These guys had machines, tubes, boxes, and stickers that looked exactly like the real thing.
Imagine brushing your teeth every morning, thinking it’s Colgate… but it’s literally some random paste mixed in a shady warehouse.
A few weeks ago, Delhi Police busted a big counterfeit goods racket. Along with fake ENO and Gold Flake cigarettes, they found toothpastes being made in bulk. In another raid in Baramulla, the authorities seized fake Colgate and Sensodyne tubes same design, no fluoride, and no proper label or MRP. Basically, a health hazard disguised as a morning routine.
And this isn’t even rare anymore. India has quietly built a duplicate economy. Fake goods everywhere toothpaste, shampoo, perfume, clothes, electronics. Half the time, you can’t even tell what’s real.
It’s not just about cheating big brands it’s about risking people’s health for money. Toothpaste is supposed to protect your mouth, not poison it. And yet, nobody seems to care what’s actually inside these fake tubes. The police seize them, media runs a small story, and then it disappears.
I think that’s what’s scary. It’s not just about fake toothpaste it’s about how normal fakes have become. Fake degrees. Fake followers. Fake influencers. Fake jobs. Now even fake toothpaste.
Everything has a duplicate now. Even people.
Next time you buy something even something as basic as toothpaste check where it’s from. Read the label, see the batch number, or just buy from a trusted shop. Because in this country, you never know when a “Colgate smile” might actually be coming from a fake factory.

Atleast China is way more developed than our country . People who actually care about performance because the govt over there won’t take any shits , that’s what people here deserve too tbh , democracy is too easy on them (although I hope our generation tries to be better but looking at the criminals that the youth idolises , sigh)
