During the raids no patients or their relatives were allowed to enter the hospital, the Income-tax department began their raid from the accounts department and later seized the files and computer hard disk to examine.
There were few doctors who could not provide the documents. In Meerut, a doctor, who is a prominent neurologist in the area was unable to produce the books of accounts which were needed, implying that there are some receipts which he hasn't disclosed. Still, he was given an opportunity to produce the books of accounts. Many locker keys have also been found at his house, a source in the Income Tax department informed TOI.
