A 64-year-old man from Parel is on life support and his wife is under observation at KEM hospital after unknowingly taking medicines meant to treat rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis every day for 15 days.
The couple suffers from depression and the wife had gone to buy their antidepressants when the pharmacist at Bharatiya Generic Aushadhe gave her the wrong medicine, claiming their components were the same.
The Bhoiwada police have booked the pharmacist, Mangya Vasave, 25, under Section 338 (causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the IPC. Police are also checking whether he is qualified to sell medicines.
