The Joint Action Committee of PGI has written a letter to UT Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria.
Jagran correspondent, Chandigarh. There is a demand for CBI to investigate the scams worth crores in government schemes like Ayushman and Himcare. In this regard, the Joint Action Committee of PGI has written a letter to UT Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria.
The committee says that Chandigarh Police had registered a case in the scam related to Ayushman and Himcare schemes, while the CBI is investigating the scam of Rs 1.14 crore in the private grant sale. Both these cases are similar and the accused have committed irregularities in these schemes in the same manner.
Even the mastermind of both these scams is the same. In such a situation, if both the cases are transferred to CBI, then better investigation can be done. The Joint Action Committee says that it was they who raised these issues after which the scams were exposed.
Mastermind running a photocopy shop
The mastermind of both these scams in PGI is the same. Durlabh Kumar Jatav, who runs a photocopy shop in PGI's Gol Market, along with some PGI employees, carried out these scams. In the private grant cell, the financial assistance given to poor and needy patients was being transferred to their accounts.
In the second scam, the accused used to illegally obtain medicines meant for poor patients under Ayushman and Himcare schemes and then sell them in the market. This work was being done in PGI in collaboration with some employees of Amrit Pharmacy. For this, fake seals were made in the names of doctors and department heads of PGI so that free medicines could be taken in Amrit Pharmacy.
