Hyderabad: The Drugs Control Administration officials, on Thursday, September 18, raided the premises of a quack/unqualified practitioner, Chenna Tirupathi, situated at Nagaram village, Maheshwaram mandal, Ranga Reddy district, who was allegedly conducting clinical practice without proper qualifications at his clinic.
23 varieties of medicines detected
During the raid, DCA officials detected 23 varieties of medicines, including antibiotics, analgesics, etc. and physicians’ samples stocked at the premises without a drug licence. Stock worth Rs. 50,000 is seized.
