The police have said the three gangs have already sold around 800 fake injections in various districts. They had brought the injections from a warehouse near Panchkula.

The Panipat police have arrested six members of three gangs in the past four days and confiscated 32 fake Remdesivir injections, available between Rs 20,000 and Rs 35,000.

The police have said the three gangs have already sold around 800 fake injections in various districts. They had brought the injections from a warehouse near Panchkula.

On Tuesday, a team of CIA-1 had arrested three men identified as Keshav, Sunil and Sumit, all from Panipat, with 19 vials. A couple of days later, CIA-3 had arrested Imran and Manoj, both residents of Panipat district, with three vials. Imran was posted as an area manager at a private laboratory, while Manoj runs a medical store in hospital. On Thursday evening, a team of CIA-2 had arrested Himanshu with 10 injections.

“After having seized the vials, we thought of giving them to the needy with the permission of court. When we contacted the manufactures, they confirmed that the seized injections were fake,” said Panipat SP Shashank Kumar Sawan.

“The accused have confessed to have sold 800 fake Remdesivir injections. They revealed that the injections were procured from Pardeep, who runs pharmacy shops in Panipat, Delhi and Haridwar. He purchased the injections from a man identified as Umar, who lives near Panchkula,” said the SP.
