Cuttack: Two persons, who were arrested in Bihar on Saturday on charges of supplying spurious blood pressure (BP) medicines to dealers in Odisha, have been brought to Cuttack by the Commissionerate Police on transit remand for further investigation.

“The two accused — Alok Mishra and Harish Kumar — arrested from Gaya have been brought to Cuttack. They had sold the fake medicines to Puja Enterprises and VR Agency in Cuttack and they did not have any licence,” Cuttack DCP Pinak Mishra told media persons on Sunday.

Purighat police brought the accused to Cuttack on transit remand for further interrogation.

Special teams of the Commissionerate Police are investigating the case in Gaya and Bengaluru after police found out that fake BP medicines Telma-40 and Telma-AM seized during raids in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar earlier this month were supplied from Bihar and Karnataka.

The probe was widened to Bihar and Karnataka after the questioning of two distributors in Cuttack — Sanjay Jalal, owner of Puja Enterprises, and Rahul Syal, proprietor of VR Agency, who have been arrested in connection with the case following the seizures.
