RAIPUR/BILASPUR India (Reuters) - When Indian police came knocking at Sumit and Rajesh Mahawar's pharmaceutical plant two days ago, they say the father and son locked the doors from the inside. A few hours later, after the police left, witnesses reported smoke started rising from medicines burning behind the building.
Mahawar Pharmaceuticals, run from an upscale residential street in the eastern city of Raipur, is now at the centre of a probe into more than a dozen deaths in eastern India after 83 women were sterilised at a government-run family planning camp.
