"The two men handed over by the administration were booked under IPC section 420 (cheating and dishonesty) and sent to jail. The matter is under investigation," said Sanjeev Dubey, Firozabad north police station house officer.

While investigating it came to the fore that many people working in the same hospital were in support of the illegal activities carried out by the two. The reason behind the staff not complaining about the accused to the college authorities was because one of the accused is a relative of a doctor working at the college.

TOI reports that patients were transferred in private ambulances instead of government ambulances as the accused made a deal with the private ambulance drivers in exchange for a commission.
