    Dok-1 Max producers to face light sentence: 6 months imprisonment or $12 fine

    Dok-1 Max producers to face light sentence: 6 months imprisonment or $12 fine

    The individuals from India behind the production of Dok-1 Max syrup, which led to the tragic deaths of 68 children and left 16 others disabled in Uzbekistan, might receive minimal penalties, Daryo correspondent reports.

    Reports state that, if the charges against the syrup producers are confirmed under Indian law, the perpetrators may face a mere six months in prison or a fine of 1,000 rupees ($12). The reason behind this lenient sentencing lies in the Indian government's accusation of the syrup manufacturers producing illegal and low-quality medicine.

    The chain of events unfolded when the Indian police arrested Marion Biotech Pvt., the company responsible for manufacturing Dok-1 Max syrup, upon receiving information about the poisoning of children in Uzbekistan due to the consumption of their drugs. However, it appears that subsequent developments, including the tragic toll of 68 deaths and 16 disabilities, were not adequately communicated to the officials of the production company, as per Indian law.

    The fallout from the incident saw a criminal case being opened against the enterprise and its five managers, including company director Sachin Jain, his wife Jaya Jain, manager Tukhin Bhattacharya, chemist Atul Rawat, and Mul Singh. However, despite the severity of the situation, the sentences handed down by the Uzbekistani court raise eyebrows for their perceived leniency.

    After a seven-month trial, the court delivered its verdict on February 26, 2024, with 7 out of 23 defendants being deprived of their freedom and the freedom of 14 others being restricted. Additionally, one individual was ordered to engage in correctional work, while another was fined UZS 17 mn ($1,337.78). However, dissatisfaction with the sentences led seven of the punished individuals to file an appeal to the court.
