Updated: Apr 25th, 2024
A drug inspector from Ahmedabad’s Food and Drug Control Administration (FDCA) office in Vastrapur was nabbed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), for her involvement in a ₹20,000 bribery case.
The ACB had set a trap to catch the accused red-handed, which she fell for.
Darshana Modi, drug inspector at the FDCA office in Bahumaali Bhawan-2, Vastrapur, visited a medical store and sought bills and prescriptions on Apr 18.
She also inspected the inventory of the pharmacy, checked for licensed drugs, and verified the absence of any unauthorised substances.
Modi then asked for prescription records from the store owner and threatened that if the store did not have the record of the doctor’s prescriptions for the sales, the owner would have to pay a bribe of ₹1,00,000.
The amount of the bribe was settled down to ₹30,000. As ₹10,000 was already given by the owner to the accused, she extorted the remaining ₹20,000.
As per the ACB, Modi landed in their trap and was busted red-handed.
