It came to fore during a probe that injections were removed from the store allegedly by the nursing staff in the name of the dead patients.
Later, a probe was ordered and a three-member committee of GSVM medical college recommended suspension of sister-in charge of Covid hospital, Manjulika Mishra and pharmacist Nagendra Bajpayi after they were found accused of involvement in the Remdesivir injections scam at LLR hospital.
