Rishikesh: In a probe against alleged irregularities, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team on Friday morning raided the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Rishikesh, in connection with the appointments and procurement made during the tenure of former director Ravi Kant.

The raid was conducted by a seven-member CBI team currently questioning the medical officers in connection with the case.

While conducting the search, the team found several documents pertaining to the case, which has been scrutinized.

AIIMS, Rishikesh law officer Pradeep Pandey said the investigating agency has sought additional documents related to the alleged irregularities which are being provided to it.

Before the CBI began its probe into the irregularities, the vigilance department had also conducted a probe into malpractices in the award of tenders for the procurement of equipment and allocation of space to a pharmacy inside AIIMS, Rishikesh.

One of the CBI officers told TOI, "The team reached AIIMS in the morning around 8 am. The officers had gone there as part of their ongoing probe in the case registered last year in April when it had conducted the previous raid. A total of eight people, including five former office-bearers of the institute's management, were booked for corruption last year. Friday's action was to proceed with the probe by investigating the related documents and questioning some of the suspects. The raid will continue till officers finish investigating the required documents."

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported about the raid that was conducted in 2022 in AIIMS Rishikesh. The CBI(Central Bureau of Investigation) registered a case and began the investigation regarding irregularities in appointments and purchases at the All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Rishikesh, during the tenure of its former Director, Ravi Kant.

The CBI raids followed allegations by social and political organizations in procurement and recruitment made by former AIIMS Director Ravi Kant.

Before the CBI began its probe into the case, the Central Vigilance Commission had also conducted a detailed investigation into the alleged irregularities in material procurements and appointments made during Ravi Kant's tenure, an AIIMS official said, requesting anonymity.

Earlier, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered two separate FIRs on the allegations of malpractices in the award of tenders for the procurement of a road sweeping machine and for the setting up of a chemist shop inside AIIMS in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand.
