During the raids, the DCA officials confiscated 150 different varieties of medicines amounting to ₹ 2.3 lakh.
Both individuals, identified themselves as Rural Medical Practitioners (RMPs), were found practising medicine without the requisite qualifications. The inspections at their respective premises revealed significant quantities of diverse medicines, including antibiotics, analgesics, anti-ulcer drugs, anti-hypertensives, and more, all stored without the necessary drug licence. Additionally, higher generation ‘antibiotic injections’ were identified at the clinics during the course of the raids, according to a release.
