Overcharged at 9 times the price
In the cardiology department of Saifee Medical College in Etawah, Dr. Sameer Sarraf, a practicing doctor, implanted fake pacemakers in patients at rates higher than the agreed SGPGI prices. Following complaints from the patients' relatives, the administration of Saifee Medical College formed an investigation committee.
The investigation validated the complaints, revealing a 9 times overcharge compared to the agreed-upon prices. Additionally, the use of counterfeit pacemakers was confirmed. Subsequently, a state-level expert investigation team was formed. The then-secretary of Saifee Medical College, Suresh Chand Sharma, wrote a letter to the former Medical Superintendent, Professor Dr. Aadesh Kumar, stating that this matter is associated with the hospital.
Purchased items from the store nonetheless
A letter was sent via Speed Post on December 24, 2022, which was investigated by the then PGI Police Station in-charge, Sub-Inspector KK Yadav, leading to the registration of a case.
The allegation was that despite the availability of goods in the Cath Lab of Saifee Medical College for over a year and a half, Dr. Sameer and others stationed here had unlawfully purchased unnecessary items worth around one crore rupees in 2019, involving a significant financial irregularity. After various levels of scrutiny, the Medical College administration halted the payment.
