He came into contact withRitesh when they both worked at Woodland Hospital. Imran approached Apollo Pharmacy for the injections and requested them at a higher price without a doctor's prescription. From then on, Imran began purchasing the injections from Ritesh and, when Ritesh was out of stock, he would buy them from Shanker. He would also get supplies from Ritesh's younger brother, Mohit, when Ritesh was unavailable. On August 16, the police apprehended them with the mephentermine sulphate injections. The HNEW requested the public to refrain from substance abuse and advised parents to keep a watch on their children's activities.
