Mumbai, May 1 (IBNS) Maharashtra's Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) has ordered that a First Information Report (FIR) be filed against Kunal Bahl, the CEO of e-commerce giant Snapdeal.com, for the sale of prescription drugs online.
FDA commissioner Harshadeep Kamble said on Friday said the FIR has been ordered against  Bahl and directors of the company.
 
The FDA said it had received information about the alleged sale of a cough syrup, and certain tablets, both prescription drugs that can be sold only when prescribed by medical practitioner.

"In this matter, we are assisting the FDA team in this investigation and we will continue to do so. We have already delisted the products and said sellers and also stopped payment, in addition to providing all information to the FDA team as required by them," the statement said.
