Along with injections, labels and vials, cops also seized a ‘cash counting machine’ from one of the six arrested accused, Asif Patani
Rajkot: Preliminary investigation into the duplicate remdesivir manufacturing racket which was busted in Pinjrat of Surat district on Saturday revealed that the racket started after one of the accused started receiving large number of calls inquiring about remdesivir injections.
According to Morbi police, kingpin Kaushal Vora, a resident of Adajan of Surat, took this short-cut to mint moolah along with the five others who are in police custody.
“Vora is engaged in medical equipment trading in Surat and he started getting large number of inquiries related to remdesivir when the coronavirus cases started increasing again. THis spurred him to grab the opportunity to make some quick bucks by manufacturing duplicate injections and supplying these in the market,” said a police official.
