Many locals had bought honey from them, believing it to be a product of the beekeepers and therefore pure. However, later they came to know that it was adulterated.
The gang came to the area again to sell honey. The locals stopped them and questioned them at which the youngsters confessed to be selling adulterated honey. They said they collect honey from the honeycombs and then sell the same after mixing sugar, jaggery etc. They revealed that their main strategy was to target villagers.
It is learnt that they were handed over to the police.
