New Delhi: A Nellore-based doctor has been duped of Rs 56 lakh under the pretext of constructing a hospital. The Delhi Police's Crime Branch has initiated an investigation into a doctor's complaint who informed the police about his plan to establish a dental hospital in his hometown.
The fraudulent scheme underscores the vulnerability of individuals seeking to establish medical facilities, especially when promised government assistance. The Delhi Police's Crime Branch is now actively investigating the matter, aiming to uncover the details of the scam and identify those responsible for the financial deceit.
Frauds targeting individuals with aspirations for healthcare ventures are not uncommon, emphasizing the need for increased vigilance and scrutiny in such business dealings. A similar incident took place a few years back, where police registered a case against four persons, including two doctors, for allegedly cheating a woman doctor of Rs 1.54 crore under the pretext of arranging funds for a hospital in Thane district of Maharashtra.
