Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) in a statement has stated that a group of criminals involved in illicit business of manufacturing of spurious, unregistered and substandard drugs has tried to defame the officers of DRAP who took stand to stop their illegal activities and refused to bow to their pressure for compromise. This group was running a malicious campaign against Dr. Sheikh Akhter Hussain, quoting two NAB references declaring him deceased. In fact, NAB has cleared the officer in that case where he was wrongly arrayed as deceased person. In this regard, the NAB has submitted a detailed report in the Islamabad High Court maintaining that the petitioner is trying to mislead the Honourable Court and all adverse allegations levelled against the officer are false, baseless and without any evidence. The Islamabad High Court has cleared him with reference to stance of NAB in petition no. 3385/2017 and the case has been disposed of. The DRAP said the venomous propaganda against honest DRAP officer has not stopped here, now the spurious drug dealer mafia is engaging certain media houses to disseminate false news against the officer, which is further from the truth. The officer has continuous and seamless service record since his appointment in 1991 in Ministry of Health and later in DRAP. There is nothing on record for his association in any such inquiry by NAB. The DRAP has revealed that the network involved in maligning the honest officers has been unearthed and relevant agencies have been requested to bring all culprits to the court of law so that poor masses be saved from spurious medicines.
