The sickening state of medical affairs at Ahmedabad’s Khyati hospital was uncovered during the interrogation of Prashant Vazirani, the tainted doctor.
In the remand petition for Vazirani, submitted before the Ahmedabad Rural Court on Thursday, the Ahmedabad Crime Branch states that an angiography chart was missing from the files of a few patients.
Moreover, the coronary angioplasty and angiography reports of the two deceased patients were found to be bogus in the police investigation.
Such acts indicate systematic economic fraud in the entire case, stated the police petition. It has been uncovered that the hospital secured public money by forging documents, through which it undertook unnecessary angiography and angioplasties.
After the completion of Vazirani’s seven-day remand, the crime branch officials had sought his custody for another seven days.
The court approved his remand for four days.
Notably, additional public prosecutor Vijay Barot stated, “During the search conducted at the hospital, it was found that the accused had affixed stamps indicating information regarding the designation and registration on the files. These stamps have not been recovered from the hospital. So, where are these stamps? Who developed these stamps? Files of a few patients have missing angiography charts. So, who has the original angiography charts? The accused should be kept under remand and interrogated.”
“An investigation needs to be conducted to trace the computer on which the bogus reports were created and on which printer they were printed,” Barot added.
He further mentioned, “Two mobile phones of the accused have been seized in this case. His call and WhatsApp data need to be analysed. Where did the accused procure the stents for the deceased? For whom did the accused perform angiographies and angioplasties? This entire conspiracy is pre-planned, and an investigation needs to be done to find out how.”
The entire row stirred up following the death of two patients from Kadi after doctors at Khyati hospital allegedly conducted an angioplasty on them to benefit from Ayushman Bharat-PMJAY (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana).
