Gurugram, Apr 19 (PTI) A vehicle carrying a consignment of thousands of injections used for weight loss and diabetes treatment was seized in a raid conducted by the Drug Control Department in the DLF Phase

The department's team received information that an employee of a company, Hampert, was illegally supplying these injections. Based on the input, the team intercepted the vehicle of the accused, Muzzamil, and apprehended him. He was later arrested by police, Drug Control Department, Drug Inspector Amandeep Chauhan said.
During a search of the vehicle, thousands of injections were recovered. Priced between Rs 13,000 and Rs 25,000 per dose, they were procured from Delhi's Bhagirath Palace market and billed to a Gurugram address, the officer said.
"We are investigating the packaging, quality and authenticity of the injections. We are examining whether these injections came from a licensed company or were counterfeits and were being supplied in the market without authorisation," Chauhan said.
If found to be counterfeits, strict action will be taken against those involved, he said. PTI COR MDO DIV
