The probe revealed that cancer treatments originally meant for government hospitals were being diverted and sold as fake drugs. The racket highlights deep vulnerabilities across the entire pharmaceutical supply chain, not just at the manufacturing level. Authorities stress that stronger technology and verification systems are urgently needed to prevent such incidents from recurring.
