Jaydeep Thakker has repeatedly been penalized for selling illegal tobacco products over the past nine years. Recently, he was sentenced to six months in jail and fined £2,000 for operating his business, Sangit Paan House, specifically for selling counterfeit cigarettes and banned tobacco items. His troubles began in 2015, culminating in multiple court appearances. Trading Standards officers have found thousands of illegal products in his store, sparking health warnings from Brent Council as part of an intensified crackdown on illicit tobacco trading.
In the latest case, Brent Council's Trading Standards officers raided Thakker's store after a tip-off on the final day of his previous eight-week suspended sentence.
Jaydeep Thakker's unlawful activities have persisted for nearly a decade, resulting in fines and multiple court appearances, illustrating the ongoing challenge of illegal tobacco trading.
