New Delhi:
Two nurses of a private hospital in west Delhi who allegedly took Remdesivir injection vials of dead coronavirus patients for black-marketing have been arrested, the police said.
The accused have been identified as Domathoti Yashwanth, 27, a resident of Harsh Vihar, and Deepak, 28, a resident of Budh Vihar.
With an unprecedented rise in coronavirus cases, the drug is in high demand these days even though experts have underlined its limited benefits.
The police said they had received a tip-off about the two accused and laid a trap near Punjabi Bagh Flyover after being informed that Yashwanth would arrive there to sel Remdesiver injection at inflated prices.
