Rajasthan police say they have unearthed a multi-crore fraud linked to a government health scheme and arrested a doctor and a lab operator, according to reports from NDTV, Hindustan Times, and The Hindu. The accused are alleged to have used the scheme to submit fraudulent claims, resulting in wrongful payments.
The Hindu reports that the doctor allegedly prescribed diagnostic tests without examining patients and, in some cases, even when patients were not present. Based on these prescriptions, the lab operator is said to have created fake test reports. These reports were then uploaded to the RGHS portal (the scheme’s online platform), which authorities say enabled the claims to be processed for payment.
NDTV and Hindustan Times similarly describe the arrests and the scale of the alleged fraud, stating that police found evidence of fraudulent activity under the health scheme. The reports do not provide uniform details on the exact amount or the number of claims involved, but they agree that the doctor and lab operator are central to the case and that the investigation is ongoing.
