An unlicensed drug manufacturing facility was busted in Khammam district by a special team of officers at Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC) Industrial Park at Annarugudem village in Tallada mandal of Khammam district. Officers from Telangana Drugs Control Administration (DCA), acting on credible information, sent a special team that found illegal manufacturing of drugs at the unit owned by Aspen Biopharma. The officials discovered pharmaceutical ingredients Valsartan and Clopidogrel weighing 935 kgs at the premises. These substances are commonly used for treating blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.
The authorities revealed that this illegal activity was uncovered following a raid on another unlicensed drug manufacturing facility in Macha Bollarum, where drugs worth ₹4.35 crore were seized. It is believed that the same individuals are responsible for the facility in Khammam district as well, and they are currently absconding. The confiscated stock will be sent for analysis.
