Kanpur: Charge-sheet filed against gang selling fake Remdesivir injections

KANPUR: Police filed a charge-sheet against the gang who used to sell fake Remdesivir injections on Thursday.
"The charge-sheet has been framed after the police, during the investigation, collected strong evidence”, said a senior police official.
To recall, NSA (National Security Act) has already been slapped on the leader of the gang. All the three accused are in jail. Fake Remdesivir injections were being sold at premium prices, when the corona epidemic was at its peak in Kanpur.
On April 15, the STF and the police had arrested Sachin Kumar of Haryana, Mohan Soni of Naubasta and Prashant Shukla of Kanpur Dehat in Babupurwa.
As many as 268 Remdesivir injections were recovered from the accused. During the investigation by the drug department, the injections were found to be fake. They all were booked under sections 420, 467,468,471,274,275 of IPC and 28-A of the Drug and Cosmetics Act.
NSA was slapped on the gang leader Sachin on May 21.
Inspector Babupurwa Devendra Vikram Singh said there is strong evidence against the accused. "We have procured the details of the WhatsApp chats of the accused. All these facts have been included in the charge-sheet, which has been filed against all the three accused," he added.
