The court expresses shock over ‘playing with the lives of persons suffering from COVID-19’
Observing that all steps should be taken to eradicate black marketing of essential drugs and sale of spurious/fake drugs, the High Court of Karnataka denied bail to a person arrested on the allegation of selling Remdesivir injection, used in treatment of COVID-19 patients, in the black market. Justice Suraj Govindaraj passed the order on a petition filed by Sohail Pasha, 32, a resident of Madeena Nagar in Mangamanapalya in Bengaluru. “It is required to be ascertained during the course of the investigation as to from where the petitioner has obtained such injections and how the same was sold without prescription when the drug required to be sold only on prescription being issued,” the High Court observed.More Related News
