Spurious BP Medicines Seized In Odisha: Police Team Sent To Gaya

Cuttack: A special team of the Police Commissionerate has been sent to Gaya in connection with the investigation into the supply and sale of fake blood pressure (BP) medicines Telma-40 and Telma-AM in Odisha.

“A four-member team of the Police Commissionerate led by a Purighat police inspector has been sent to Gaya. The team has two experts,” Cuttack DCP Pinak Mishra was quoted as saying in a media report.

“We are trying to find out the manufacturers of the spurious drugs. All those involved would be brought under the purview of our investigation,” he was further quoted as saying.

Huge quantities of fake Telma-40 and Telma-AM tablets were seized during raids by officials of the state Drug Control Administration in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar recently.

The Police Commissionerate arrested two distributors in Cuttack following the raids. Those arrested are Sanjay Jalal, owner of Puja Enterprises, and Rahul Syal, proprietor of VR Agencies, over their alleged involvement in the supply and sale of the fake medicines.

An additional 1,350 strips of fake Telma-40 medicines costing about Rs 3 lakh were seized by Purighat police from a transport agency on Mahatab Road in Cuttack on Monday.

During investigation, police said they came to know that VR Agencies and Puja Enterprises had allegedly procured the fake drugs from Gaya and Bengaluru.

Glenmark, the manufacturer of Telma-40 and Telma-AM, has clarified that it did not manufacture the spurious drugs seized in Odisha.
