Youth claims Rs 60K worth of medicines fraudulently under Ayushman Bharat

A routine security check at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) Chandigarh recently led to a major breakthrough, exposing a multi-state racket involving the illegal procurement of medicines valued at Rs 60,000 under the Ayushman Bharat cashless scheme. The medicines meant for patients were allegedly resold to private medical stores.

The scammers allegedly used forged documents and fake departmental stamps to obtain medicines under the scheme from PGIMER’s AMRIT Pharmacy. The case has now been transferred to the Crime Branch after initial investigation by the local police.
