Telangana: Man held for selling oxytocin

Hyderabad: The police raided Sri Laxmi Narsimha Swamy Dhana Dukanam in Brooke Bond Colony, Ghatkesar, and arrested a man. The cops also seized 20 oxytocin injections and two one-litre hydroponics acid bottles from him.

The arrested Keesara Narasimha, 38, was running a cattle feed business. “He was purchasing oxytocin from one absconding Nasir for '50 and was selling it at double the price. Before milking, the dairy owner injects 5-10 ml of Oxytocin on buffaloes. They are also mixing diluted HP acid in the milk at night to prevent it from spoiling,” inspector G. Naveen Kumar said. They dilute it in the morning with water and milk powder," said inspector G. Naveen Kumar. The cops nabbed shop owner Narasimha for selling Oxytocin secretly to the dairy farm owner.
