Covid crisis: Oxygen, Remdesivir black market as patients gasp and hospitals choke

Delhi Police personnel were seen rushing oxygen cylinders to four hospitals after their distress call over oxygen shortage.

The cops, creating a green corridor, dashed to hospitals with refills of 17 oxygen cylinders in a bid to save lives.

These 17 oxygen cylinders were seized by the police from black marketers three days ago.

As the national capital literally gasps for breath, there are opportunists trying to make a quick profit from the pandemic.

Over the past week, Delhi Police have arrested 18 people and recovered 104 remdesivir vials, over 100 oxygen cylinders and oximeters, and other crucial kits, in eight searches.
