Ahmedabad: The city crime branch on Tuesday filed a 6,070-page chargesheet against Kartik Patel, the owner of Khyati Multispecialty Hospital, in connection with the deaths of two beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) after they underwent angioplasty operations at the hospital.
Patel was arrested in Jan by the city crime branch after his return from a foreign country. On Feb 7, a bulky chargesheet running to 5,670 pages was filed against eight persons, including hospital directors, executives, and doctors.
Three FIRs were registered after an alleged scam of profiting from PM-JAY came to the fore on Nov 13, 2024, after two persons died following the angioplasty procedures undertaken under the scheme. A probe revealed that the patients were invited for the procedure after conducting free health checkup camps near Kadi town in Mehsana. The case was first probed by the Vastrapur police, then transferred to the detection of crime branch on Nov 18, 2024.
The chargesheet has been filed in a JMFC court at the Ahmedabad rural court in Navrangpura under Sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 110 (attempt to commit culpable homicide), 336(2), 336(3), 340(1) (for forgery), 340(2) (use of forged documents), 318 (cheating), 61 (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
The investigator has attached 130 statements of witnesses with the chargesheet. There are seven statements which were recorded before judicial magistrates. The charges are sought to be substantiated with 20 electronic evidences and 38 files. The investigator recovered 11 registers from the hospital, which are now part of the chargesheet. The police have also supplied 37 forms of patients’ history with the probe report.
Besides, the chargesheet contains literature related to the PM-JAY scheme, the hospital’s audit report, details from the Registrar of Companies, 34 bank accounts, and details regarding assets owned by the accused persons.
The probe into this case led the investigators to bust a scam in which the Ayushman cards were issued to ineligible persons.
