Ahmedabad: Principal district judge K M Sojitra on Tuesday denied regular bail to Khyati Multispecialty Hospital CEO Rahul Jain in connection with the deaths of two patients who underwent angioplasties under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojna.
Special prosecutor Vijay Barot opposed his bail plea and highlighted his alleged involvement in the crime. “He used to attend meetings with directors and the chairman of the hospital where it was decided to bring more and more patients by any means,” the court noted.
The court added, “Investigation also reveals there are statements of Dr Jeet Harsh Brahmbhatt and Toralben Kalpeshgiri Goswami (in-house PRO) and others working with the hospital, who have stated that the present applicant was forcing doctors to conduct more and more angiography/angioplasty.”TNN
