THE Delhi High Court has pulled up Delhi’s Drug Controller for initiating prosecution against AAP MLA Praveen Kumar for procuring medical oxygen amid the second wave of Covid.

Justices Vipin Sanghi and Jasmeet Singh observed there was no need to initiate prosecution, especially when the Delhi government failed to provide sufficient medical oxygen to the people. In this case, it said, then every gurudwara, temple or church, social organisation and every good Samaritan, providing medical oxygen amid second wave, should be booked.
