Medical scams always subject us to shocks, especially when done by people in honourable professions. In one such example, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Telangana has unearthed a big scam.
On Tuesday, the ACB seized as much as Rs 4.47 Cr of unaccounted money. This money, they believe, belongs to Devika Rani, former Director of Insurance Medical Services (IMS) and ESI Pharmacist Naga Lakshmi.
The duo had been planning to buy six residential flats and commercial space in Hyderabad with the money, a PTI report says. The Bureau had unearthed assets worth over Rs 23.14 Cr. Allegedly, they belong to Devika Rani.
The scam pertains to the supply of medicines to dispensaries and hospitals and involves a civil surgeon.
