Saurabh Mishra said that the platelets which were not donated to the patient, they should be examined from where these platelets were brought. He said that the bottle of platelets has a sticker of SRN. DM Sanjay Kumar Khatri, when asked about the investigation of platelets, said that platelets would also be tested.

The game of fake platelets has started
The biggest question is about the dirty game of blood.
The speed with which dengue has increased in the state, this time the game of platelets has started. During the Corona period, the kind of black marketing game that took place regarding Remdesivir, platelets are going on right now. In the past, action has been taken at the administrative level regarding this, but the case of Prayagraj has opened the game. This requires administrative action. The problem has increased after the case of people losing their lives in the business of dirty games of blood. Had the process of investigation started at the administrative level, then such a situation might not have arisen.
