Hyderabad: An investigation by the Hyderabad police which claimed to have busted an eight-member gang selling emergency medicines for Covid-19 at higher prices in July this year — is under a cloud.
Multiple discrepancies have been pointed out in the investigation: A Delhi-based youngster was linked to the crime without specifying charges against him in their own remand case diary; there was no specific description of the quantity of medicines seized from him, or what happened to those medicines worth about Rs 9.5 lakh in his possession; what was his role in the alleged racket; and there were differing versions of the place of his arrest.
Even the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions has stepped in and asked Telangana chief secretary Somesh Kumar to examine the matter, which is understood to have been passed on to DGP M Mahendar Reddy.
