The Crime Branch of the Delhi Police busted a unit manufacturing fake drugs meant for treatment of COVID-19 and black fungus patients and arrested 10 people, including two doctors, officials on Sunday. The medicines were being black-marketed through WhatsApp, they said. The police said, “The big crackdown on black-marketing of fake ‘’injections’’ used as life-saving drugs in COVID and black fungus led to arrest of 10 people, including two doctors”. According to the police, one of the accused, Mayank Taluja (25), worked as a COVID volunteer for two-three months and came in contact with a salesman named Waseem Khan who worked at Al Khidmat Medicos. Soon, Taluja started advertising his mobile number on various WhatsApp groups that injectable drugs for the treatment of black fungus disease were available with him, they said.More Related News
