Seven persons underwent angioplasty, a procedure that widens blocked or narrowed coronary arteries to improve blood flow to the heart, at Khyati Multispeciality Hospital on November 11, last year, following which two of them died, prompting Vastrapur police to register three FIRs the next day.
The probe showed the hospital organised free check-up camps in villages to convince Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) cardholders to undergo angioplasty despite no medical necessity. They were shown in the «emergency» category to expedite government approval, after which the hospital claimed payments under the Central scheme.
With Kartik Patel's arrest, the police have apprehended all nine accused in the case, including the hospital's CEO and the marketing director.
The crime branch arrested Rajshree Kothari, one of the directors of the hospital, when she was on her way to Bhilwara from Kota in Rajasthan in December last year.
