Latur Medical Store Owner in Hot Water for Illegal Drug Sales

A medical store owner in Latur was charged with selling sedatives and syringes without a prescription after Deputy Superintendent Sameer Singh Salve's operation uncovered the unauthorized sales. Tapentadol, sedative pills, and other drugs were seized, leading to the owner's booking for illegal distribution.

A medical store owner in Latur's Gandhi Chowk has been booked for allegedly selling sedative tablets and syringes without a prescription, authorities confirmed on Friday.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Sameer Singh Salve spearheaded the operation following a tip about a person consuming drugs in a car near the old railway station.

Officials seized various drugs, including Tapentadol and Viagra tablets, confirming illegal sales from the store over the past three months, culminating in a charge against the shop owner.
