Summary: Sresan Pharmaceuticals owner G Ranganathan, 73, was arrested in Chennai by a Madhya Pradesh police team over the deaths of 21 children linked to the toxic Coldrif cough syrup. Chhindwara SP Ajay Pandey says they prepared for a possible flight abroad and will bring Ranganathan to MP for interrogation. A pharmacy graduate, Ranganathan rose in the 1980s promoting nutritional syrups in Chennai. His company operated for 14 years in poor conditions, lacking hygiene and quality control. An October 2 Tamil Nadu drug inspection found 364 violations, including use of non-pharmaceutical grade chemicals, no pest control, and rusty, leaking equipment. The state ordered an immediate halt on Sresan Pharma’s manufacturing and sales. Former drug controller M. Bhaskaran criticized regulators for failing to inspect or act against the company earlier despite these ongoing issues.
