Haryana’s Home Minister Anil Vij Sunday said that after busting an international racket selling spurious injections for cancer, the state’s Food and Drug Administration Department (FDA) has succeeded in seizing imported medicines worth more than Rs 7 lakh from a Turkey resident, who was arrested recently.
