Investigators in Ahmedabad district discovered that all 1,140 seized plasma units were of poor quality and unsuitable for human use. The forensic report revealed that the plasma failed to meet the required standards, posing a risk to human life. The accused allegedly adulterated genuine plasma by mixing it with saline water to increase profits.
The investigation expanded to multiple blood banks in Maharashtra, where the accused supplied the adulterated plasma. Four arrests have been made in connection with the case. The accused not only replaced genuine plasma with adulterated units but also adulterated the stolen plasma before selling it to blood banks.
Further examination is ongoing to determine if any patients received the contaminated plasma. The accused allegedly supplied plasma to various blood banks in Maharashtra, with investigations focusing on the involvement of operators at these facilities. The regulatory framework governing blood banks is under scrutiny to identify loopholes exploited by the accused.
