| | A police investigation into an alleged conspiracy in which a privately-owned diagnostic lab and a COVID-19 hospital in Amritsar stand accused of colluding to declare healthy people coronavirus-positive, hospitalize them, and charge them very high medical costs, has cast an uncomfortable light on the vagaries of India’s testing infrastructure for the novel coronavirus.
Those affected, who include a pregnant doctor, say that their hospitalization in a facility full of coronavirus-positive patients meant that they ended up catching illness at the hospital itself.
Punjab’s enforcement agencies say the owners of Tuli Diagnostics Laboratories connived with the proprietors of EMC hospital and endangered lives by faking test results to fraudulently admit healthy people in their COVID-19 isolation wards.
The First Information Report (FIR) filed by the police includes several serious charges including an attempt to murder, fraud, and participating in a criminal conspiracy. |
