A Mumbai court has granted bail to Sudeep Mukherjee, who was in jail for three years accused of selling fake medicines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additional Sessions Judge Shrikant Bhosale from Dindoshi court released Mukherjee, noting the trial's significant delay since his 2021 arrest.

Details revealed that Mukherjee procured fake Favipiravir tablets from a fraudulent firm and distributed them under false labeling. This was his third bail attempt after earlier rejections, supported by a similar case where a co-accused was granted bail by the Bombay High Court.
