Early Times Report

Jammu, Apr 20: The unholy nexus between some doctors and private pharmacies was exposed on Wednesday when the police seized three vehicles carrying drugs worth Rs 1 crore outside the Super Specialty Hospital Jammu. Reliable sources told Early Times that police also arrested four persons outside the hospital who were selling drugs openly at choicest rates. "Private pharmacies are openly roaming in the hospital and selling their drugs with the help of some doctors. This contradicts the claims of the department concerned about maintaining a vigil on the illegal activities," sources said.
They said the illegal practice has been going on inside as well as outside the government hospitals for last many years.
"More than a month ago, vehicles of private pharmacies were spotted outside the Super Specialty Hospital Jammu selling drugs openly with the help of some doctors. However, the administration of the hospital, which knew about the practice, chose to ignore it," sources added.
When contacted, Controller Drugs and Food Control Organisation, J&K, Lotika Khajuria confirmed that the police seized three vehicles carrying drugs. She said they would apply for its custody on Thursday.
"After taking custody, we will start investigation and action would be taken under the Act," she added.
