A Pimpri-Chinchwad-based drug company with unofficial blessings of the Food and Drug Administration Department ( which has been obviously bribed heavily ) has amassed billions of rupees in black money by manufacturing drugs illegally. The Sprouts Special Investigation Team ( SIT ) has reliable information that despite repeated complaints, the Food and Drug Administration officials have not taken any action.

The illegal manufacturing factory of this company is located in Wakad in Pimpri- Chinchwad City. Many complaints were made by alert citizens and other social activists to the Food and Drug Administration Department ( FDA ) about the spurious medicines being manufactured in this factory endangering the health and lives of lakhs of patients. But the FDA has only offered a deaf ear to these complaints. Finally, based on the complaints, ‘Sprouts’ published the matter. A Sprouts team also followed up on the complaint with FDA officials.

Finally, the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) raided the factory where officers found a stock of uncertified drugs. But the matter was ‘managed’, and no case was registered against the owners and their associates. Repeated complaints after this to the officers of the department have been ignored because the company’s owners, Pravin Agarwal and  Pawankumar Jagdishchand Goyal seem to have ‘managed’ the concerned FDA officials. The  ‘death factory’ still continues to function and illegal drugs find their way into the market posing a grave risk and danger to the lives of patients.
