Nexus of medical representatives, drug wholesalers unearthed
Guntur Urban Police cracked a racket involving medical representatives and wholesale drug dealers who were selling Remdesivir in the black market, here on Wednesday.
The State government had mandated that Remdesivir can be sold only at authorised hospitals, and had banned over-the-counter sales.
However, some individuals and firms, hoping to exploit the demand for the drug, began to hoard it and sell it in the black market.
