The concentrator may not be suitable for use of COVID-19 patients. Oxygen concentrators are useless."Denying the fact that Kalra was doing charity, Prosecutor Shrivastava submitted that charity is not done for money and Kalra was not doing charity."Had he sold it at a cost price, it would have been charity. But they sold it at a much higher price," he pointed out.The Delhi Court noted that Oxygen Concentrator has no margins fixed on cost.To this, Shrivastava said that the government has liberalised the policy for 'needy persons' and not for 'greedy persons'.The Prosecutor stated, "Their intention was to cheat and make a profit and this is a white-collar crime.
