Plasma Racket

Maharashtra, which started the world's largest plasma therapy trial in June, has now warned about a racket in plasma donation. State home minister Anil Deshmukh today said there have been reports of fraud. There have also been reports that those needing plasma have been made to pay hefty amounts.

Cyber racketeers are duping people by offering to sell blood plasma of recovered COVID-19 patients, advertising it as a miracle cure for coronavirus infection, a senior police official said on Saturday.
