Gujarat: Hospital security officer booked for duping patients on pretext of treatment
Vadodara: The police have registered a case of fraud against a security officer working with a Waghodia-based hospital for cheating patients under the pretext of accepting donations for their treatment.
The security officer was booked for duping patients of lakhs of rupees.
The police registered a case of cheating worth Rs 3.58 lakh against the security guard, who was alleged to have retired from the army.
The complaint filed against him stated that the accused cheated the patients who used to come to the hospital for treatment. He allegedly took around Rs 8.83 lakh from these patients under the guise of accepting treatment donations, as per a media report in the Times of India.
Following that, he never took any receipts for the money and failed to return around Rs 3.58 lakhs. His claims of being a retired army official are also under the scanner, as the police are investigating that.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported about a case of duping from Gurugram where a 62-year-old heart patient from Iraq had been allegedly cheated of USD 15,000 by two people, who eventually passed away at the hospital. An attendant of the patients claimed that Abbas had chased the two people who had duped him and his wife, after which his condition worsened. The incident took place when they when were going to the market during which they were duped of the cash. According to investigators, one of the two suspects impersonated a police officer in civilian clothes and forced the Iraqi national to give him the envelope with the money on the pretext of checking it for drugs and then snatched it.
