Fake Medicine Operation Disrupted in Dehradun, Seizure of Counterfeit Drugs from Major Pharmaceutical Brands
In a crackdown on counterfeit and illegal pharmaceuticals, a collaborative team of officials from the Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) and the Ghaziabad Crime Branch conducted a raid on a factory in Dehradun that is reportedly involved in the production of fake medicines, officials announced on Wednesday.

The facility, situated in the Devipur New Highway Road area of Dehradun, was allegedly manufacturing counterfeit medications by exploiting the names and brands of prominent pharmaceutical companies such as Cipla, Lupin, Dr Reddy’s, Elder, Micro, Mankind, Intas, Abbott, Sun Pharma, Aristo, Macleods, and Zydus.

The packaging for these counterfeit medicines was crafted to mislead both ordinary consumers and pharmacy retailers effectively.
During the operation, the team confiscated a substantial amount of suspected counterfeit medicines, along with packaging materials, labels, wrappers, and other equipment pertinent to the manufacturing process.

The confiscated items have been secured, and samples have been forwarded for testing, the statement indicated.
