    Bhubaneswar: In a major breakthrough in multi-crore fake medicines racket, a joint STF team of Odisha and Uttar Pradesh arrested 5 more persons from Varanasi in the northern state on Tuesday.

    As per report, the team led by Varanasi Drug Inspector-City Amit Kumar Bansal and Drug Inspector-Rural Sanjay Dutt carried out the joint operation for 9 days before arresting the 5 persons. The arrested persons have been identified as Chandra Sekhar Singh, Gourab Sharma, Ritesh Kumar Jaiswal, Subham Jaiswal and Abhishek Singh.

    The team also seized spurious drugs worth about Rs 25 lakh and a hard disk with a computer. They also detected a transaction of spurious drugs worth more than Rs 1 crore. A team from Bargarh police station in Odisha has taken the arrested persons in remand.

    The operation was launched by UP STF on the basis of information given by Odisha’s Health department to the Uttar Pradesh government after fake drugs seizure in Bargarh and Jharsuguda districts. The seized fake medicines had allegedly been procured from Uttar Pradesh.
