A mobile court on Wednesday seized 14 fake brand televisions from four electronic shops at Moulana Bhasani Hockey Stadium Market in the capital.
During the drive, a team of law enforcers, led by executive magistrate Shakil Ahmed, raided different shops and realised Tk 40,000 in fine from the owners of the four shops for showcasing and selling fake Samsung brand televisions.
The team seized six televisions from Soma Enterprise, four from Badal Enterprise, three from Konika Enterprise and one from Arab Enterprise.
The team also found other fake electronic products of different renowned companies such as Panasonic, Konka, LG, Sony, Sharp etc.
Samsung Dhaka branch assistant manager of consumer electronics Reazul Islam Chowdhury said the price of original Samsung television starts from Tk 16,000, from which the distributors or sellers could make Tk 400 to Tk 500 profit.
But from the sale of fake television at Tk 8,000 to Tk 10,000, they can make Tk 1,000 to Tk 2,000 profit.
Shakil Ahmed said the drive was meant to make both the sellers and consumers aware and they would continue the drive against sale of fake products.
'Many shopkeepers are selling fake electronic goods and we will try to stop them,' he added.
