Patient sold fake blood for Rs 7000, Probe ordered at Hardoi Medical College
A recent discovery has exposed a black market scheme at Hardoi Medical College in Uttar Pradesh, where a patient in urgent need of a blood transfusion was reportedly sold fake blood for Rs 7,000.
The illegal blood trade came to light when a doctor, before transfusing blood to a patient, noticed that the blood bags had fake labels that didn't match those of the medical college. The blood also had dangerously low haemoglobin levels which is extremely life-threatening for any person.
