Cough Syrup Scandal: Accused Arrested Amid Political Row

A man accused of selling spurious cough syrup that killed over 20 children has been arrested after a special investigation team tracked him down. The case is causing tension between state governments, with the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister accusing the Tamil Nadu government of not cooperating with the probe. Annamalai, an AIDMK and BJP ally, alleges regulatory failures in TN, citing over 364 violations found by the company. However, the Tamil Nadu government denies these claims, saying a ban was issued immediately after contamination was detected, and the Centre and Madhya Pradesh initially declared the medicine safe.
