Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) – The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (UPSTF) has arrested four office-bearers of the Halal Council of India, Mumbai, for extorting money in the name of Halal Certification. The four people arrested on 12th February have been identified as Maulana Mudassir, Habib Yusuf Patel, Anwar Khan and Mohammed Tahir. Notably, the UP Government has banned the manufacture, sale, storage and distribution of Halal certified products in the State.
1. UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had announced in November 2023 that no goods with Halal Certification can be made or sold in the State, except for those for export abroad. The Government had also made provisions to jail those who sell goods with Halal Certification in UP.
2. An STF team led by Deputy Superintendent of Police Deepak Kumar Singh recovered 4 Aadhaar cards, 4 PAN cards, 3 mobiles, 4 ATM Cards from the accused. Rs 21,820 in cash, 3 vehicle licenses and some other important documents were also seized.
3. The accused had no right to issue a Halal Certificate, yet they were doing so by extorting Rs 10,000 from each establishment. The Police are investigating further in this matter.

What is Halal Certification ?
Halal is a dietary law derived from Islamic teachings, meaning ‘lawful or permitted’. Earlier, the Halal Certificates were limited to meat only; but now that religious fanatics want to build their independent economy, many products such as housing, medicines, cosmetics, etc. are also Halal certified. In short, it is a Certificate to emphasise that a certain facility or item is approved as per Islam. Various international lobbying groups of religious fanatics are pressuring establishments to get these Certificates. Large establishments are also falling victim to this as pressure is being exerted on Muslim consumers to say that Halal is mandatory. Some Islamic organisations are conspiring and have approved Halal Certificates. Halal Certification is a plot of fanatics to build a parallel Islamic economy in the country.
