The doctor in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara who prescribed Coldrif syrup to children has been arrested amid a massive row over the deaths of 11 children who allegedly took the contaminated cough syrups, officials said early Sunday. Most of the children were treated at the clinic of Praveen Soni, a paediatrician in Parasia.
Soni is a government doctor and prescribed the syrup to children who had come to his private clinic, sources said.
The Madhya Pradesh government also filed a case against Srisan Pharmaceuticals, a company based in Tamil Nadu's Kanchipuram district that manufactured the Coldrif cough syrup.
