Ahmedabad Gynaecologist alleges identity misuse in LIC Insurance fraud
Ahmedabad: A 31-year-old gynaecologist from Ahmedabad has filed complaint of cheating alleging that her identity was fraudulently used in a medical insurance scam involving forged documents and unauthorised enrollment with a Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) company.
Dr. Hiralben Koli, a practising gynaecologist at Krishna Hospital in Shahpur, lodged a First Information Report (FIR) at Satellite Police Station on May 20. She has accused a pathologist associated with Velys Diagnostics and Pathology Centre of obtaining her personal and professional credentials under false pretences nearly two years ago.
According to the FIR, the pathologist, along with an associate, allegedly used Dr. Koli’s Doctorate Certificate, Aadhaar Card, and Gujarat Medical Council Registration to fraudulently add her name to LIC’s panel of approved medical professionals. The duo is also accused of forging her signature on several medical claim forms submitted to LIC.
