On Wednesday, Mr. Sanjay Khatri, the Prayagraj District Magistrate, clarified that the dengue patient was supposedly given "poorly kept" platelets that look similar to mosambi juice. Last week, a 32-year-old man died at a private hospital after receiving a transfusion of "mosambi" (sweet lime) juice.  

The Prayagraj police have arrested ten accused involved in the fake platelet racket.

So far, the district administration has maintained a measured silence on the matter. In the meantime, the state government had sealed the private hospital and released a notice for its demolition.
