Authorities have uncovered a massive racket involving the manufacturing and sale of counterfeit Mounjaro (tirzepatide) injections in a Gurugram flat. Two people have been arrested in connection with the case, and a nationwide alert has been issued to detect the fake injections.
The Health Department team raided a residential society in Sector 62 and arrested two individuals, including the key accused, who were importing raw drugs from China and manufacturing counterfeit injections.
The accused were supplying the illegal injections through the B2B portal Indiamart, and the entire racket was being run from a flat in the society.
Mounjaro is a weekly injectable medication for type 2 diabetes that significantly improves blood sugar control and aids weight loss.
After recovering injections worth ₹70 lakh from a vehicle in DLF Phase 4, the team raided the flat in Sector 62, where they found injections being prepared by mixing water with raw drugs.
A nationwide alert has been issued regarding the injections, and batch numbers have been shared to help health department teams detect counterfeit injections.
An investigation is underway to determine where the fake injections were supplied and how many people are involved in this racket.
