New Delhi: The prominent Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital in the capital has now fallen into the radar of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), on account of allegedly purchasing plastic pallets at an escalated rate worth Rs 65 lakh during the commonwealth game in 2010.
According to a recent media report, The CBI had visited the institution on 11th of June to investigate and collect documents associated with the case. However, no important files could be found.
The allegations date back to the year 2010, during the common wealth games when the LNJP Hospital was made the nodal centre of all government hospitals in the city. The plastic pallets used for storage of drugs, surgical consumables, kitchen items, and other sensitive items to maintain hygiene, were allegedly bought by the hospital at much high price resulting in a loss to the exchequer.
In 2011, the CBI received a complaint in 2011 from the Delhi government's vigilance department regarding the issue.
