Man poses as PMO, threatens leading opthalmology chain promoters to forget Rs 16 crore paid to Indore Hospital
New Delhi: The CBI has booked a man for impersonating a high-ranking official of the Prime Minister’s Office and allegedly trying to force an eye hospital chain to “forget” more than Rs 16 crore owed to it by an Indore-based hospital, officials said.
The accused allegedly called and sent messages from his mobile phone asking the promoters of Dr Agarwal's to settle the dispute with the hospital in Indore which allegedly had to return Rs 16 crore to the hospital chain, they said.
It is alleged that Dr Agarwal, who runs a chain of eye hospitals, had entered into an agreement with two doctors who ran the Indore-based hospital to join the franchise for which over Rs 16 crore was paid, they said. The Indore hospital allegedly started violating the terms of the agreement which resulted in a dispute and Dr Agarwal’s wanted their money back and the termination of the agreement, they said.
