As per news report of NDTV, The arrests come in the backdrop of a different case in the city in which a hospital was allegedly passing off sweet lime (mosambi) juice as platelets to a dengue patient who later died. It's not yet proved if indeed there was juice in the packets; a report is awaited and the "juice" theory is so far just talk on social media, police said. These 10 men, police said, were taking plasma from blood banks and repackaging them as platelets — both are components of blood but used to treat different ailments, with platelets being high in demand in dengue cases.
