Based on Interpol warning, the CBI has alerted the police and other enforcement agencies against racketeers selling fake hand sanitiser, manufactured using the highly-toxic methanol, and fraudsters posing as PPE and other Covid-19-related medical suppliers taking advance payment for supplies.
CBI officials said after receiving the input, the agency immediately alerted the police authorities in states and Union Territories (UTs) to remain vigilant about such gangs using the modus operandi to make quick money. The officials said the Interpol had also cautioned against criminal activities indulged in by some ghost suppliers, who are approaching hospitals and health authorities posing as representatives of manufacturers of PPE kits.
