Bengaluru: Assistant drug controller suspended in counterfeit drug case
On Monday, the Department of Health and Family Welfare suspended Omkareshwar, an Assistant Drug Controller with the Food Safety and Drug Administration in Chamarajpet, for his role in a counterfeit drug case. Health Department officials claim Omkareshwar neglected to examine counterfeit drugs at Krupa Healthcare situated in Chamarajpet's Minerva Circle.
Furthermore, they stated that Omkareshwar did not take the necessary steps to penalize the distributor. Recently, the Special Investigation Team from the Bengaluru police and the Food Safety and Drug Administration suspended Veeresh Jain, the owner of Krupa Healthcare. Jain is accused of supplying counterfeit medicines to hospitals, medical stores, and clinics at a 50% discount.
These counterfeit products included cancer drugs, life-saving medications, and ICU injections, which Jain allegedly distributed to over 90 facilities in the city.
