    The Drugs Control Administration in Hyderabad has discovered a fake drug operation involving antibiotics, hypertension and cholesterol medicines, and analgesics. The raids took place in various locations in Hyderabad, resulting in the seizure of fake drugs worth Rs 26 lakh. The operation was carried out by a special team based on intelligence about the entry of counterfeit drugs into Telangana from Kashipur in Uttarakhand.

    The team conducted raids at courier offices in Dilsukhnagar and Uppal after receiving information about the shipping of fake drugs to Hyderabad through Trackon Couriers Pvt. Ltd. They found two parcels, weighing 14.5 kg and 13.34 kg respectively, which were claimed to contain ‘machine parts’ but actually contained spurious drugs. The parcels were shipped from Kashipur by Amar Pharmaceuticals and delivered to a person named Puvvada Lakshman in Hyderabad. With the help of the police, the officials located and apprehended Lakshman at a bar near Shiva Ganga Theatre in Dilsukhnagar.
