Rs 10 Crore Medicine Recovery in Nalbari Linked to Guwahati Pharmaceutical Theft
Medicines worth approximately Rs 10 crore were recovered from a house in Balikaria, Nalbari, suspected to be linked to a theft at a pharmaceutical godown in Guwahati during Durga Puja. Three employees allegedly misled a security guard by claiming the godown was being shifted, enabling them to take the consignment. The employees later surrendered. The caretaker of the house where the medicines were found denied knowledge of the items’ origin. The pharmaceutical company Macleods reported the theft after reopening the godown post-festival closure.
