The Sindh Drug Court has denied interim bail to four individuals accused of possessing and selling unregistered and substandard medicines, according to a report from Business Recorder on May 17, 2026. The accused, Ijaz, Rafiq, Younis, and Muaz, were arrested in January 2025, with authorities recovering unregistered medicines from their possession.
The court emphasized the potential threat these medicines pose to human lives, stating that those involved in the sale of unregistered and substandard medicines should face strict legal consequences. The prosecution presented evidence that the accused were involved in the illegal sale of unregistered medicines, with the seized substances failing to meet the necessary regulatory standards.
After considering arguments from both sides, the Sindh Drug Court decided not to confirm the interim bail granted to the accused and dismissed their bail applications.
