UP Court Attaches Rs 30 Crore Assets in Cough Syrup Trafficking Case
A court in Uttar Pradesh has ordered the attachment of properties worth Rs 30 crore belonging to Bhola Prasad Jaiswal, who is accused of illegal trafficking of codeine-based cough syrups.
The police have started attaching these properties, which include residential properties, vehicles, and bank deposits.
The investigation found that Jaiswal used forged documents to obtain licences for his company, M/s Shaili Traders, and set up bogus firms to supply the illegal syrup.
Meanwhile, in Varanasi, the police seized around 30,000 bottles of codeine-containing cough syrup worth Rs 60 lakh from a godown.
The prime accused in this case, Shubham Jaiswal, has sought to quash the FIR and stay his arrest.
