Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner Tukaram Mundhe says that responses have been received from actors involved in alleged “surrogate ads.” In an NDTV interview, he comments that, in his view, the actors involved are “violators of law,” and he outlines the status of replies to official show-cause notices.
According to the report, two of the three actors have replied to the show-cause notices issued in connection with the case. The notices are part of an administrative process used by regulators to seek explanations before further action is taken.
While the cited outlet focuses on Mundhe’s remarks and the progress of the actors’ responses, the core points remain the same: an ongoing regulatory inquiry concerns actors appearing in advertisements described as surrogate promotions, and the authorities are considering the replies submitted so far before any next steps.
