New Delhi, June 3
The Gautam Gambhir Foundation has been found guilty of unauthorisedly stocking, procuring and distributing Fabiflu medicine to Covid-19 patients, the Delhi Government’s drug controller informed the Delhi High Court on Thursday, which said the BJP MP did a lot of charity but caused a lot of shortage of drug and inconvenience to the society.

The HC deprecated the manner in which a huge quantity of the drug was procured and said genuine patients who needed the medicine at that particular time, could not get it as the bulk stock was taken away by the cricketer-turned-politician. “This was certainly not the way. In this pandemic, it should not be done just because people have means to do it…. We want to curb this practice and for this, we want you (drug controller) to take action,” a Bench of Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Jasmeet Singh said. — PTI
