Rajasthan doctor, broker arrested for taking Rs 20000 bribe for issuing medical certificate
Bharatpur: A Rajasthan-based doctor and a broker have been arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) police for allegedly taking bribes of Rs 20,000 for issuing a medical certificate.
The doctor is associated with Pahari Hospital and his broker is identified as Kuldeep. The incident took place on Thursday when a man named Rajesh visited the hospital of the accused in hope of acquiring a medical certificate of his brother declaring his condition as 'severe'.
After Rajesh met the doctor, the broker working with the doctor demanded Rs 30,000 for the medical certificate. After urging him to lower the rates, Kuldeep accepted to fix the deal with Rajesh on Rs 20,000.
Rajesh then decided to inform the police about the incident and visited the ACB police station in Bharatpur on the same day. In order to catch the doctor red-handed, the police came up with a plan and directed Rajesh to visit the hospital on Friday.
