New Delhi, April 6 -- The crime branch arrested five people, including a pharmacist and a contractual helper at Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) hospital, for allegedly running a racket that diverted government-supplied medicines meant for free distribution to patients, senior police officers said.
Police said medicines, including antibiotics and critical care injections, worth around Rs.70 lakh were seized. The racket had been operating for the past 1.5 years through a chain of brokers.
A DDU hospital official said, "We have received an intimation regarding the arrest. The requisite action including enquiry and suspension will be taken on Monday." htc
