Uttarakhand: He became rich by ‘selling’ people’s health, his conscience did not wake up even after going to jail
People are consuming branded medicines with confidence to get relief from their diseases, but if the same medicine turns out to be fake, then it becomes a danger signal for the patient. The Special Task Force of Uttarakhand Police has arrested one such accused who was supplying fake medicines in the market in the name of branded pharmaceutical companies. These medicines include those to control blood pressure, pain relievers, reduce the amount of acid, control sugar.
To live a luxurious life himself, Naveen Bansal, a resident of Ashiana Green Bhiwadi Rajasthan, had been planning to play with the lives of people by bringing fake medicines in the market for 10 years. In 2015, he made a fake PAN card and formed a pharma company.
Under the guise of this company, he brought fake medicines in the market in the name of branded pharmaceutical companies. When the Delhi Crime Branch got wind of this, the Crime Branch arrested him in the year 2018. Even after staying in jail for six months, he did not improve and got involved in the same business again.
Naveen Bansal prepared documents in the name of Akshay and made a fake PAN card in the same name and then formed a pharma company. Under the cover of this pharma company, he again started selling fake medicines in the market. In these seven years, the accused bought two flats in the posh area Ashiana Green in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, after which he also bought two villas. By putting people’s health at risk, he made crores of profit, so he also bought three luxury cars. These included MG Hector, Ciaz and another car.
He used to show an income of five to seven lakh rupees
Naveen Bansal, who used to earn lakhs of rupees per month by selling fake medicines in the market, used to show his income as only five to seven lakh rupees per year. Gradually, his work increased, so he started doing his business from Uttarakhand to Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh and other states. The accused had also kept his staff in these states who used to do different jobs.
This is how he was playing with lives
The reputed pharmaceutical companies of the country follow hygiene protocols to prepare good medicines in a place free of infection, to protect from dust, moisture and bacteria. The accused used to make medicines in any room. In such a situation, these medicines become ineffective instead of having an effect on the patient’s body.
STF sent report to ED and Income Tax
Now STF has made full preparations to tighten the noose on the accused. In this case, STF is also going to send a report to ED. The investigation will make it clear how much the accused has earned so far by selling fake medicines to people. Apart from this, information about where the accused used the money will also be revealed in the ED investigation.
