Dental Tourism gone awry: Dentist files harassment complaint against police, CBI director, NRI patient

Chandigarh: The Chandigarh Vigilance Department will investigate allegations of a local dentist that former CBI special director Rakesh Asthana influenced police to lodge a case of cheating against him on the complaint of an NRI woman, officials said.
Dr Mohit Dhawan had filed a complaint against Asthana; former Chandigarh DGP Tajinder Singh Luthra; former DSP Satish Kumar; Inspector Ashwani Attri and an NRI woman before the CBI Director in New Delhi last year.
The entire genesis of the case goes back to the year 2018, when the NRI patient filed a complaint with the Chandigarh police. In her complaint she said that she was looking for dental implants and contacted dentist Dr Mohit Dhawan. He said that he would carry out the procedure in two sittings. She came to India on August 1, 2017. The dentist allegedly used “sub-standard” implants and took the full payment of Rs 7,13 437 through cheque. He also allegedly offered to arrange her hotel stay as well as her visits to several hill stations. But he did not do so.
