Uzbekistan cough syrup deaths: Noida police arrest 3 employees of Marion Biotech
FirstpostThe Noida Police said the arrests were made after an FIR was lodged against five officials, including two directors of Marion Biotech. The FIR was lodged over a complaint by a drugs inspector of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization New Delhi: Three employees of Noida-based pharmaceutical firm Marion Biotech, whose cough syrup is linked to the deaths of 18 children in Uzbekistan last year, were arrested on Friday. The three accused have been identified as Atul Rawat, Tuhin Bhattacharya and Mool Singh and were arrested from Marion Biotech Pvt Ltd. Before the arrests were made, the central and the Uttar Pradesh state drug authorities had checked samples of Marion Biotech’s drugs. Marion Biotech, which has its office in Sector 67 in Noida, had come under the scanner in December last year for its cough syrup Dok-1 that was suspected to have led to the deaths of 18 children who consumed it in Uzbekistan after which the CDSCO launched an investigation into the matter.
