New Delhi [India], May 31 (ANI): Expressing dissatisfaction with its status report, the Delhi High Court on Monday pulled up the Drug Controller Department of Delhi for not properly examining how BJP MP Gautam Gambhir procured a huge quantity of COVID-19 medicines.

Hearing the case related to the hoarding of medicines, the Delhi High Court expressed its dissatisfaction over the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) report that gave clean chits to BJP MP Gautam Gambhir and AAP MLA Pradeep Kumar.

Rejecting the status report filed by the drug controller on its probe into procurement of the medicine by the cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir, the High Court said its confidence in the official has been shaken.

“We are exploring all options to quickly make this important medicine available for Indian patients,” GSK India spokesperson told ET. Earlier in the day, Indian drug maker Zydus Cadila said it has sought approval from the Drug Controller of India to start clinical trials of its own antibody cocktail drug to treat mild Covid-19 patients.
