Office-bearers of Mayani medical institute booked in alleged Covid fraud
Hindustan TimesThe Satara police have registered a case against the office-bearers of Institute of Medical Science and Research Centre at Mayani for their involvement in the alleged fraud related to Covid pandemic, officials said on Monday. Financial benefits were illegally obtained under the Mahatma Phule Jan Arogya Yojana and Ayushman Bharat Yojana. The allegations suggest that the institute’s office-bearers fraudulently claimed benefits from the state government health schemes by falsely showing deceased patients as alive during the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, opposition parties and their leaders, including Nationalist Congress Party state unit chief Jayant Patil, had alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party legislator Jaykumar Gore, who was associated with the institute, is likely to be involved in the irregularities.
