The CBI has filed a charge sheet in an alleged bribery case in which a senior official of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation(CDSCO) and a Biocon Biologics executive were arrested in June this year, officials said.
It is alleged that the bribe payment of ₹9 lakh to Joint Drug Controller S. Eswara Reddy was cleared by the associate vice president of Biocon Biologics L. Praveen Kumar, they said.
The bribe was allegedly for favourably recommending the file of Insulin Aspart Injection to the Subject Expert Committee (SEC) meeting on May 18 for waiving the phase 3 clinical trial, they said.
