CHENNAI: At Government Tiruvannamalai Hospital, in Covid-19 wards choking with suffering, an insidious business was afoot. Helming it was Ramesh , a hospital helper, tasked with administering Remdesivir injection to Covid-19 patients. Ramesh, however, was not oblivious of the black-market price of the drug.
So, when a doctor tells him to administer Remdesivir to a patient, he would make his own ‘observation’ to check whether the patient would live or not. If his ‘prognosis’ was negative, which they often were, Ramesh kept the vial for himself, and lied to the doctor that the injection had been given.
This ugly business, however, came undone when Mohammed Imran Khan, a 25-year-old Tambaram doctor who had purchased the vials from Ramesh for sale in the black market, was busted. Superintendent of Police (Civil Supplies CID) S Santhi, whose team arrested the suspects, said Ramesh had stolen vials after vials this way and sold them to Khan.
