Two drug inspectors, Gaurav Sharma and Sharad Kumar Jain (posted in Chhindwara and Jabalpur districts respectively) and the deputy director of food-drugs administration Shobhit Koshta were suspended for dereliction of duties, while the drug controller Dinesh Maurya was transferred.

So far, 15 deaths of children from Chhindwara have been reported since September 4, when four-year-old Shivam Rathore died following acute kidney injury allegedly caused by the contaminated cough syrup.
