Rajasthan seizes ₹3.73 crore in fake medicines from unlicensed Jaipur firm
Rajasthan Govt Seizes Fake Medicines Worth ₹3.73 Crore In Jaipur, Firm Booked For Illegal Operations
Rajasthan's Medical and Health Department has intensified its crackdown on counterfeit medicines. In Jaipur, officials seized fake and substandard drugs worth ₹3.73 crore from GK Enterprises, which continued operations without a valid license. A case has been registered and investigations are ongoing. The state has also banned 7 firms and 40 medicines in 2025 over major quality failures.
Authorities in Rajasthan have cracked down on GK Enterprises after the firm was caught selling counterfeit and substandard medicines. The company, based in Jaipur, falsely labelled products like Winset-L and Algivin-M tablets as genuine YL Pharma drugs. Officials seized fake drugs worth ₹3.73 crore during the investigation.
The trouble began when GK Enterprises continued operating without a valid license following a change in partnership in 2019. No records show a qualified partner named Khemchand with pharmaceutical expertise, yet the firm kept producing medicines. A formal case has now been filed against Khemchand for running the business illegally.
Rajasthan’s Medical and Health Department also banned nearly 40 specific drugs this year. Another 19 medicines from Kaysons Pharma were pulled from distribution after contaminated cough syrups were linked to child deaths. State Medical and Health Minister Gajendra Singh Khinvsar confirmed that firms failing quality checks would face severe penalties.
Earlier in 2025, the Rajasthan Medical Services Corporation (RMSC) had already debarred seven firms and 40 medicines for substandard quality. Inspections revealed repeated violations, prompting stricter enforcement measures.
The seizure of ₹3.73 crore worth of fake drugs marks one of the largest crackdowns on pharmaceutical fraud in the state. With legal action underway against GK Enterprises and broader bans on unsafe medicines, officials aim to tighten oversight. The move follows a pattern of stricter penalties for firms compromising public health.
