An initial inquiry by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) of the Delhi government has uncovered that 65,000 fictitious patients underwent pathological tests at Mohalla clinics through private labs from February to December 2023. Two private labs conducted around 2.2 million tests during this period, with 65,000 identified as fraudulent. The government paid ₹4.63 crore to these labs for the tests.
