Ahmedabad Police Arrest Four in Blood Plasma Adulteration Racket Across Maharashtra and GujaratPreviousNext

Ahmedabad Rural Police arrested four individuals, including former plasma collection executive Dinesh Umabhai Chaudhary, for allegedly adulterating blood plasma consignments by replacing genuine units with inferior ones. The racket operated across Maharashtra and Gujarat, diverting around 114 litres of plasma sourced from a blood bank in Washim, Maharashtra. Police seized plasma units, equipment, and vehicles valued at approximately Rs 12.06 lakh. The case was registered at Changodar police station and transferred to the Special Operations Group due to interstate implications.
