Surat: The Surat District Bar Association has requested its members not to take up cases of those who are involved in the illegal sale and manufacturing of fake remdesivir injections.
The lawyers’ body made this request on Tuesday following an online meeting of its council members. In a letter addressed to all lawyers, the bar association has stated that those involved in black marketing of the life-saving drug have shamed the humanity and those involved in manufacturing of fake injections are playing with the lives of Covid patients.
Police in different cities and districts including Surat have nabbed several people involved in the illegal sale of remdesivir and manufacturing of fake injection vials. The racketeers started the illicit business after the demand for the injection suddenly increased during the second wave of the virus. In some cases, doctors and medical staff too have been found to be involved.
