Court issues arrest warrant against 4 traders
Srinagar: A special court has issued arrest warrants against four persons for manufacturing and supplying sub standard bandage to Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS).
According to Advocate Musavir Joo, the standing counsel of food and drug control organization, the special TADA court issued the arrest warrants against Sanjay Ahuja, Syed Ahmad, Saghir Bhaksh and Mohammad Amin who are proprietors, manufacturers and suppliers of Aroma surgical house and standard surgical dressing company based in Prthviraj Gunj Cant. The court has fixed the next date of hearing on May 31.
According to Adv Joo, three samples of bandages lifted from SKIMS were sent to laboratory for analysis and the report has declared them ‘sub standard’. Pertinently, the drug control officials had lifted samples of many dressing items in SKIMS for analytical procedures. The drug department had also directed the SKIMS officials not to use the material till the analytical reports come, official sources had revealed to KNS. But, instead implementing the directive the hospital authorities had distributed all sub standard material among the hapless patients.
