Delhi 'surgery scam': Police probing likely involvement of another doctor
New Delhi: The Delhi Police is looking into the possible involvement of another doctor, from Faridabad, in a ''surgery scam'' at a clinic in Greater Kailash, sources said on Thursday.
Two doctors and as many fake doctors were arrested on Tuesday for their alleged involvement in the surgeries of two patients who died in the clinic.
On Thursday, the arrested accused — Neeraj Agarwal, who runs the Agarwal Medical Centre, Jaspreet Singh (both MBBS doctors), Agarwal’s wife Pooja and former laboratory technician Mahender Singh — were again produced in a court, which sent them to five-day police custody.
Police sources said that during the course of investigation into the matter, it emerged that the name of another doctor from Faridabad was also used in the conduct of multiple surgeries at the clinic.
“We may book the doctor from Faridabad too if he is found to be involved in the racket,” a police officer said, adding they are also investigating the possible role of a few other persons who were in touch with the accused.
