A team of the Delhi anti-corruption branch (ACB) on Tuesday visited Lok Nayak hospital a facility run by the Delhi government as part of its investigation into alleged "substandard" disposables being used at the hospital, officers aware of the matter said.
The officers said ACB registered a first information report (FIR) on January 5 after receiving a complaint that certain hospitals were allegedly using low-quality material such as bandages and gauzes to treat patients. A total of six hospitals are under the scanner in connection with the FIR, they said.
Additional commissioner of police Madhur Verma, who heads the ACB, confirmed that a team of investigators visited the hospital on Tuesday and conducted searches, but did not share more details, saying the case is still being probed.
HT reached out to Lok Nayak hospital, but officials did not comment on the matter. The Delhi government, meanwhile, said the alleged substandard disposables were procured via a central government portal, and demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.
