Dehradun: Finance manager booked for whooping Rs 1.5 crore fraud at Private hospital

Dehradun: Two persons have been booked by the police for being involved in alleged fraud of Rs 1.5 crore at a Dehradun-based private hospital.

The court has ordered to register a case against the former finance manager and his uncle. The accused had embezzled the advance money from the patients.

As per a media report in the Times of India, Sub-Inspector Aditya Saini has been given the responsibility of investigating the incident, he said that the fraud case came to light after an internal audit of the hospital's accounts was conducted.

Bhupendra Raturi, Public Relations Officer of Shrimant Indiresh Hospital, said that from the year 2012 to 2016, Saurabh Sharma was posted as the Finance Manager in the hospital. There was an investigation against him in the hospital and he was found guilty. After this a complaint was made to the police but no action was taken.
