Delhi Police's crime branch has arrested five individuals for allegedly operating a racket that diverted government-supplied medicines intended for free distribution to patients. The arrested include Neeraj Kumar (53), a wholesale medicine dealer from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, and Binesh Kumar (54), a pharmacist at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital in Delhi. The police seized medicines, including antibiotics and critical care injections, valued at ₹70 lakh (approximately $84,000 USD). The operation reportedly lasted for 1.5 years, involving brokers who facilitated the illegal sale of these medicines across multiple cities. The police are currently investigating to uncover additional members of the racket and trace financial transactions related to the illegal activities. Hospital officials have indicated that necessary actions, including an inquiry and potential suspensions, will be taken following the arrests.
