The chief judicial magistrate of Uttarakhand's Pithoragarh sentenced three men, including a Patanjali official, to six months in jail after Patanjali's soan papdi failed a quality test. Fines ranging from ₹5,000-25,000 were also imposed on them. The samples were collected from a Pithoragarh shop in October 2019 and the state food safety department received lab reports in December 2020.
