The high court, where a case relating to the issue is pending, asked CBI to take charge of the investigation. Eleven life-saving spurious drugs were found which were supplied to the state Health Department from the company. In 2015, the apex court said the case could be heard by the high court and a petition was lodged next year. Even worse was the then Left Front government which stayed silent even after lab tests confirmed spurious drug reports. Advocate Arijit Bhowmik, who is Sinha’s counsel at the high court, said he has received no document about CBI taking over the case.
