Jammu Doctor swindled of Rs 30.5 lakh, Crime Branch files chargesheet against 4

Jammu: In a recent fraud case, the Crime Branch of Jammu and Kashmir has submitted a chargesheet against four officials of a private company based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, for allegedly swindling a doctor of Rs 30.50 lakh under the pretext of establishing a gym in a joint venture.

According to the PTI report, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Crime Branch, Benam Tosh, said the case against the office-bearers of Messrs Chisel Fitness LLP was filed on February 20, 2023, following a written complaint by dental doctor Anuj Arora, a resident of Jammu.

The chargesheet in the case has been filed in the court of law for judicial determination, the SSP said.

The officials said those chargesheeted in the case include founding director of Chisel Fitness LLP Satya Shardul Sinha, her brother and director supply chain Sushil Kumar Tongbram, director corporate and legal affairs Kingmoohan and architect Gangoni Poorna Chandra — all residents of Karnataka.

Last month, a team of Crime Branch officers conducted raids in collaboration with Police Station Wilsen Garden, Bengaluru, and Police Station Ashok Nagar, Bengaluru.

However, it was found that the office premises of M/S Chisel Fitness LLP was closed over the past several years, the officials said, reports PTI.

The investigation of the case has been completed, leading to the filing of the chargesheet, they said.

Medical Dialogues recently reported that a Shimla-based doctor has been swindled out of Rs 2.7 crore in an investment scam that promised high returns from trading. Three individuals have been arrested in connection with the fraud. The incident, which occurred in November 2024, involved a scam that lured the victim with promises of substantial returns on trading, but the money was instead transferred into anonymous accounts.

HC seeks report on power backup at Rajindra Hospital after halt in surgery

Chandigarh: After a video showing a power outage during a cancer patient’s surgery at Rajendra Medical College and Hospital, Patiala, went viral on social media, the Punjab and Haryana High Court recently acted on a public interest litigation (PIL) on the matter and sought a clarification from the Punjab government regarding the availability of a backup power supply at the hospital.  

Medical Dialogues recently reported that a power outage in the operation theatre of Rajendra Medical College and Hospital, Patiala during a surgery has sparked a controversy after a viral video surfaced, showing a doctor expressing frustration and raising concerns about patient safety.

A video of a power outage during surgery at a Patiala government hospital in Punjab went viral on social media on Friday, giving an opportunity to the BJP to attack the AAP questioning its ”Delhi Health Model” amid the Delhi Assembly Election, whereas the State Health Minister sought to downplay the incident.

In the video, a doctor was seen complaining about a power outage in the operation theatre of Rajendra Hospital during a surgery. The doctor is seen complaining that the emergency light was coming and going, and the ventilator went off. He asked who will be responsible if something goes wrong.

Following the incident, advocate Sunaina filed a public interest litigation (PIL), demanding strict measures to ensure that all government and semi-government hospitals in Punjab have reliable power supply, especially for critical areas such as emergency operation theatres. The plea also called for disciplinary action against the responsible authorities.

A division bench comprising Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sumeet Goel has directed the state counsel to verify whether the hospital has a functioning power backup system and report the findings to the court. 

“The learned state counsel is directed to seek instructions from the relevant department or functionary of the state of Punjab as to whether any backup for electric supply is available at Government Rajindra Hospital, Patiala,” noted the court as reported by HT.  

The matter has been listed for the next hearing on February 6, 2025.

RG Kar Protests: Regularise doctors’ absence who returned to duty after August 22, SC tells Hospitals

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed hospitals, including AIIMS New Delhi, to regularise the unauthorised absence of doctors who participated in protests following the brutal rape and murder of a female PG doctor trainee at RG Kar Hospital on August 9, last year.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar took note of the submissions of a doctors’ body that some hospitals had regularised the absence of the doctors following its August 22, 2024 order but a few others, including AIIMS Delhi, decided to treat the period as leave of absence.
According to the PTI report, the CJI said, “We deem it appropriate to clarify that if protesting workers had joined work post the Supreme Court order then their absence shall be regularised and not be treated as absence from duty. This is issued in peculiar facts and circumstances of the cases and is not laying down any precedent,” the CJI said.
The lawyer appearing for the body said the decision to treat the protest period as leave may create trouble for some of the medical PG students.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, said as the case was non-adversarial, the hospitals would abide by the top court’s directions.
Mr Mehta said AIIMS, Delhi, decided to treat the period as leave of absence availed by the doctors.
“By an earlier order, it was stated that no coercive step would be taken against the protesting doctors for protests till the date of the order. Pursuant to this some of the AIIMS such as Kalyani and Gorakhpur and the PGI Chandigarh have regularised the absence. However, some other institutes have treated the said period as if doctors were on leave,” said the bench, reports PTI.
On August 22, last year, the Court ensured that no coercive action would be taken against protesting doctors who resumed work, urging them to return to their duties.
Observing “justice and medicine” couldn’t be stopped, it directed no coercive action would be taken against doctors once they resumed work.
The heinous crime triggered nationwide outrage and prolonged protests in West Bengal.
The bench was hearing the suo-motu case over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in the Kolkata hospital.
On January 20, a Kolkata trial court awarded convict Sanjay Roy “life term imprisonment till death” in the case.
The body of the post-graduate trainee doctor was found in the hospital’s seminar room on August 9, last year following which the Kolkata police arrested civic volunteer Roy the next day in connection with the crime.
