Shocking Scam: Animal Liver Tonic Sold As Children's Medicine, Medical Store Owner Arrested

In a shocking instance of playing with human health, authorities have busted a major scam where animal health supplements were allegedly sold as medicines for children. A medical store operator was arrested for refilling livestock liver tonics into small bottles and selling them as popular human supplements.

Joint Raid Uncovers Dangerous Rebranding

Acting on intelligence, the local Special Operations Group (SOG) along with the Food and Drugs Department conducted a raid at a medical establishment. Investigators discovered that the accused was purchasing large commercial packs (1-liter and 5-liter) of an animal feed supplement (Liv.52 Protec Liquid) meant for cattle and horses.

The liquid was then transferred into smaller 60ml and 100ml bottles, affixed with counterfeit labels mimicking popular children's liver drops. Because both products shared a similar purpose concerning liver health, unsuspecting parents and customers fell prey to the fraudulent packaging.

Extensive Investigation Underway

Police interrogation revealed that the illegal operation had been running for nearly a year, with the accused allegedly selling around 1,000 bottles of the repackaged animal supplement. Authorities are currently investigating the source of the fake labels and whether other distributors or medical practitioners were part of the supply chain.

A formal case has been registered against the accused under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and relevant drug regulations as authorities work to trace the entire network.
