Mysuru: Karnataka's Home Minister G Parameshwara said that the factory at Hebbal in Mysuru which Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided was just producing phenyl.

Speaking to media persons in Mysuru on Friday he said that the NCB team have not found any contraband or raw materials used to manufacture drug there.

"It was a Phenyl factory. It was just a follow up case. Since this unit owner was a relative of an accused arrested in other State, out of suspicion they have just conducted an enquiry in the unit in Mysuru," Parameshwara said.

Regarding rumours that minister K J George was set to resign he said it is not true.

"George himself has clarified that it is not true," he added
