Goat Blood Found in Human Blood Bags in Hyderabad Raid
During a raid in Hyderabad, officials found a large amount of goat blood stored in bags meant for human blood.
This is very dangerous because animal blood can be deadly if it gets into the human blood supply.
The officials also found special machines used to process blood, which suggests the blood was being prepared for specific uses like skin treatments or vaccines.
The owner of the company where the blood was found is missing, and the officials are investigating how this happened and why.
They are also checking if any laws about treating animals cruelly were broken.
This is a very unusual and serious case, and the officials are working to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Around 1,000 litres of goat blood was found packed in human blood bags during a raid in Hyderabad.
Advanced machines used for blood processing were also discovered on the premises.
Officials suspect the blood could have been used for unauthorised clinical trials, experimental purposes, or to prepare culture media for lab tests.
The owner of the firm, registered as an import-export operator, is absconding.
The case has been registered under Section 18(c) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, and investigations are ongoing.
