Tripura Police Seize 875 Bottles of Illegal Cough Syrup Worth Rs 10 Lakh

Tripura police have cracked down on an illegal cough‑syrup operation, seizing 875 bottles that authorities estimate are worth roughly Rs 10 lakh. The seizure was part of a coordinated raid aimed at curbing the distribution of unlicensed medicinal products in the state. Officials said the confiscated stock appears to be counterfeit and was being sold without any regulatory approval. Health experts warn that such fake medicines can cause serious adverse reactions, especially among vulnerable patients. The investigation remains ongoing, and police have indicated that those responsible will face strict legal action under the state's drug‑related offences statutes.
