Interstate Network of Counterfeit Medicines Busted in Haryana, Delhi, and Uttarakhand
Authorities in Haryana, Delhi, and Uttarakhand have uncovered an interstate network manufacturing and distributing spurious medicines, including counterfeit hypertension drugs. Two individuals were arrested in connection with fake Telmisartan and Amlodipine tablets traced to a factory in Roorkee, Uttarakhand. Separately, a raid in Bazpur, Uttarakhand, led to the seizure of large quantities of counterfeit allopathic medicines and illicit liquor from a unit operating without valid licenses. Investigations are ongoing to identify further suspects and manufacturing sites.
