Coimbatore: The city police arrested two men on Sunday on the charge of forging prescription of a psychiatrist to buy sedatives from a medical shop on Oppanakkara Street.
Police identified them as A Mohammed Razul, 22, of NH Road and his friend R Sakthivel, 23, of Nethaji Nagar at Ramanathapuram. “Mohammed tried to buy Nitrosum tablets from Ganesh Medicals on Sunday morning using a prescription from a private hospital at Peelamedu. Vijay Alangaram, who was at the counter, suspected foul play and contacted the hospital. After learning that the prescription was forged, he confronted Mohammed, who threatened him. With the help of his colleagues, Vijay handed over Mohammed to the Big Bazaar police,” a police officer said.
