Counterfeit antibiotic drugs, costing around ₹17.5 lakh, were confiscated in Gujarat, and four individuals were arrested.

The Food and Drug Control Administration (FDCA) reported that some suspects working as medical representatives for "benami" companies were distributing fake medicines to doctors.

Once they received the tip, the Ahmedabad regulator apprehended Khimaram Kumhar with 99 boxes of POSMOX CV 625 antibiotic tablets.

Further investigation led to the arrest of Arun Amera, who disclosed information leading to the capture of Vipul Degda.

Degda was found with five fake antibiotics worth ₹4,83,300.

He also provided information leading to the arrest of another accused, Darshan Vyas.

Such a counterfeit medicine ring was successfully identified and will be further investigated.
