Respected Sir,

With reference to the above stated subject, I, Vishal Gupta, S/o Satish Kumar Gupta, permanent resident of 10-C-27 Mahaveer Nagar 3rd. Kota (Rajasthan) and currently residing at Mumbai, have to state as under:

That one Mr. Harimohan Gupta, S/o Mr. Balchand Gupta (registered pharmacist having registration number 14411 dtd 30/06/2005) has done his M Pharma from Shri G S Institute of technology & science, Indore (M.P.) in 2007 & B Pharma from Rajiv Gandhi Prodyogiki Vishwavidyalya (Madhya Pradesh) in 2004. I wish to apprise your good self that he is involved in heinous crimes and various unethical practices (as mentioned below in detail) bringing disrepute to the renowned and respected profession of a pharmacist and a substantial threat to the general public at large.

It would not be out of place to mention that In terms of the provisions of the Pharmacy Act 1948 (“Act”), the Executive Committee may order that the name of a registered pharmacist shall be removed from the register, where it is satisfied, after giving him a reasonable opportunity of being heard and after such further inquiry, if any, as it may think fit to make, -

(ii) that he has been convicted of any offence or has been guilty of any infamous conduct in any professional respect which in the opinion of the Executive Committee, renders him unfit to be kept in the register, or

(iii) that a person employed by him for the purposes of his business of pharmacy [or employed to work under him in connection with any business of pharmacy] has been convicted of any such offence or has been guilty of any such infamous conduct as would, if such person were a registered pharmacist, render him liable to have his name removed from the register under clause (ii).

Considering above provisions of the Act & involvement of Mr. Harimohan Gupta in various crimes & unethical practices (as stated below), his name should be removed from the list of registered pharmacist with immediate effect :

Mr. Harimohan Gupta is under prosecution & currently on bail under Criminal charges (FIR no 54/2017 dtd 13.02.2017) under various Sections of Indian Penal Code, 1860 viz 354, 406, 498A (domestic violence, dowry etc.) and presently the matter is sub-judice in the Hon’able Court of Kota (Rajasthan). Hereto annexed and marked Exhibit “Annexure A” are Copies of the said Complainants/cases filed against the accused.
Involved in threatening people & creating nuisance in life of others. In this regard concerned police station has referred the matter to appropriate judicial authority for initiating actions against him. Please seek relevant information in this regard from "Nayapura Station, Kota (Rajasthan).
Evaded stamp duty on registration of property purchased in Kota (Rajasthan) & enquiry for the same is under consideration at relevant department. Information in this regard may be sought from relevant department based in Kota (Rajasthan).
May have lent his registered pharmacist licence for carrying out unauthorised pharmacy store and may have acted unlawfully and irresponsibly leading to life hazard to general public life.


Ïn this regard I wish to quote Hon’ble High Court of Bombay vide judgment dt. 15.3.2011 in W.P. No. 3698 of 2005 has upheld section 42 of the Pharmacy Act, 1948 & did not allow the unqualified persons to continue to work in the matter of handling medicines by working as pharmacists since they are not qualified pharmacist under section 42 of the Act”.

Keeping in consideration the above instances, I firmly believe that your good self would take some serious actions against Mr. Harimohan Gupta and would remove his name from the register with immediate effect. It is hereby requested to kindly inform me the progress made in this regard on my mail id [protected]@gmail.com.

Thanking You

Yours sincerely

Vishal Gupta
