Big Pharma may have to reveal government deals in WHO’s draft pandemic rules.

The firm learned that P Sarath Chandra Reddy, the company’s full-time director/promoter group, had been detained by the Enforcement Directorate. “The firm is gathering further information and will make additional disclosures as necessary,” Aurobindo Pharma said in a stock market report on Thursday. According to many media reports, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) also detained Benoy Babu, an official at French spirit’s primary Pernod Ricard’s India subsidiary, under provisions of the Prevention of
Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
According to media reports, the ED raided multiple liquor businesses, suppliers, and distributors last month in a money laundering probe that the Aam Aadmi Party, which rules the country’s capital, has criticized as politically motivated.

The shares of Aurobindo Pharma fell 7.42% to Rs 501.20 on the BSE from a previous close of Rs 541.40. Aurobindo Pharma’s stock has been declining over the past two sessions. The stock is now trading 3.28% higher than its 52-week low of Rs 494.75.
