This sugar mill, called Yadu Sugar Mill, owes farmers in Budaun over 30 crore rupees.

The local sugarcane committee complained, and now the police have filed a case against the mill's officials, including the director, who is the son of a former politician.
The police say they are looking into it, and if the mill doesn't pay soon, the officials could be arrested.
