Hyderabad: Rachakonda police on Monday arrested three persons in connection with the blood adulteration racket. The arrested were identified as V Chakravarthi, head of Venus Hospital located at Judges Colony in Malakpet, in-charge of Blood Bank Ch Sravan and technician B Prem Kumar. Police seized two adulterated blood packets and blood bank records for further investigation.
Police said, Chakravarthi, a native of Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh got permission for running the blood bank in his hospital in 2014. He leased it out to Sravan and appointed Prem Kumar as technician.
The three accused had been adulterating the blood using saline and selling it to the required people to make quick bucks. However, the adulteration came to light when an accident victim’s relatives bought one unit of blood from Venus Blood Bank for a surgery at Global Hospital, police said.
The Global Hospital doctors found the blood adulterated and informed the kin of the patient who in turn lodged a complaint with the police. Further investigations are underway, police said.
