Then came a very shocking incident from Baramati in Maharashtra. Baramati police have busted a gang selling paracetamol in an empty vial of remedivir injection and selling it to corona patients. The gang was reportedly selling fake remedivir injections for Rs 35,000.

A relative of one person in Baramati needed a remedivir injection. He was rushed to a private hospital where he was reported to be receiving injections. A member of the team at the hospital told him that he himself works at the Kovid center and demanded Rs 35,000 for the injection and Rs 70.00 for the 2 injections.

After informing the police about this, he arrested the accused and in the interrogation he revealed the names of his 3 accomplices. A very shocking revelation was made during the interrogation of the four accused.
