Remdesivir -- a crucial drug for COVID-19 patients which is currently in short supply -- has become the political flashpoint between the Maharashtra government and the opposition BJP. Yesterday, the Mumbai Police detained Brucke Pharma owner Rajesh Dokaniya, saying a truckload of Remdesivir was caught. Mr Dokaniya, the police said, was trying to export 60,000 vials despite an export ban.
