Police raided the shop from which an Army officer purchased a bottle of soft-drink, which is believed to have caused the death of his 11 year old daughter, and are intending to seal the shop and arrest the owner.

It was found that the vendor had been selling expired soft-drinks and as such has been prohibited from selling soft-drinks until further notice. (Romesh Madusanka, Ranjan Kusturi)

What do they mean by "intending to seal the shop and arrest" ? Are they waiting for the guy to close shop and escape ?

Obviously this is no fault of the manufacturing company if they had indicated the date of expiry on the product. And there is a responsibility on the consumer also to check the expiry date before consuming.

Anyone selling expired stocks, the shop should be closed and never give license again to operate. Having said that, its very
rare a person can die out of expired drinks, they must check
properly the cause of death without coming to any conclusions

Cant blame the local companies. They struggle so hard to compete with foreign juice brands imported by big shots without paying any duty.
