Samples have been collected from the company for analysis after Uzbek officials announced earlier this week that they had found a contaminant in the product which could prove fatal and may have been behind the deaths.
"Following inspection by @CDSCO_INDIA_INF team in view of reports of contamination in cough syrup Dokl Max, all manufacturing activities of Marion Biotech at Noida unit have been stopped yesterday night, while further investigation is ongoing," tweeted Mandaviya.
The company's legal representative had said earlier on Thursday that it stopped the manufacturing of only the syrup that was mired in the controversy, which goes by the brand name Dok-1 Max and has reportedly only been exported.
