"Unaccounted tax receipts and tampering/fudging of record books and accounts are some of the things we are investigating," an I-T official told HT.

During the raids no patients or their relatives were allowed to enter the hospital, the Income-tax department began their raid from the accounts department and later seized the files and computer hard disk to examine.

There were few doctors who could not provide the documents. In Meerut, a doctor, who is a prominent neurologist in the area was unable to produce the books of accounts which were needed, implying that there are some receipts which he hasn't disclosed. Still, he was given an opportunity to produce the books of accounts. Many locker keys have also been found at his house, a source in the Income Tax department informed

TOI.

The source further informed that during the course of the search at the GS medical college and hospital in Pilakhwa, which is run under Jaipal Singh Sharma Trust, the people concerned were unable to produce the books of accounts. Cash and various locker keys were also found at the spot. We are suspecting undisclosed income from their establishment, but that is a matter of investigation, TOI further reports. The I-T teams also raided Dr Ankit Sharma's GS Medical College and Hospital and Ayurveda Medical College and Hospital in Hapur, and his residence in Ghaziabad

No details have been revealed yet by the department, the documents will be further investigated before taking any legal action.
