9 years over, CB fails to take probe into ASCOMS patients scam to logical end 6/9/2015 12:12:58 AM Sumit Sharma Early Times Report Jammu, June 8: Crime Branch (CB), Jammu, has so far failed to take the ASCOMS patients' scam to its logical end. The premier investigating agency has not even prepared a chargesheet against the management of Acharya Shri Chander College of Medical Sciences (ASCOMS), Sidhra. The CB registered a case against management and officials of ASCOMS Sidhra and started investigation after a letter dated February 28, 2006 was written by Additional Secretary Health and Medical Education Department to IGP Crime wherein it was alleged that illegal practices were being carried out by the management of ASCOMS by way of incorporating wrong entries in the OPD registers by showing dead person admitted and treated in the hospital. After registering a case under Section 420/467/468/471 read with Section 120-B RPC, the CB during preliminary investigation came to know that the authorities of ASCOMS just to fulfill the Medical Council of India Rules and Regulations fabricated the record. Sources in CB revealed that ASCOMS patient's scam had become baffling as the ASCOMS management was not providing hospital record stating that the same had been stolen and later damaged by three employees of the hospital namely Ashwani Magotra, an accounts officer, Rajesh Jamwal, junior receptionist, and Victor Lehaer a nursing orderly, adding trio was ousted from the hospital after lodging FIR against them with Police Station, Nagrota. Sources said that Crime Branch lifted some account officers of ASCOMS, who during questioning, blamed the owner of the hospital for forcing them to resort to such practice for getting benefit, adding that though the Crime Branch pursued the record from the office of Medical Council of India (MCI) which was dispatched by ASCOMS management, the case had yet made no headway. Meanwhile SSP Crime Branch Mubisser Latifi when contacted said that the investigation in the case is in progress and would be completed soon.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
