According to the PTI report, the case was registered following a complaint lodged by Dr Vijay Pati Dwivedi, the District Chief Medical Officer (CMO), who said it was brought to his attention that some employees had allegedly submitted forged documents to gain employment and had been drawing salaries for their services, thus misleading the department.

As per a media report in the HT, “The matter came to light during an inspection at a primary health centre (PHC) when I asked a newly joined staff nurse ‘what is the ratio of ORS to be mixed in water for a patient of dehydration’,” Dr Dwivedi said on Sunday. The inspection then triggered a broader investigation that revealed a disturbing pattern of fraudulent appointments.
