The Fatehabad police have booked the deputy civil surgeon of Fatehabad district, Haryana in the suspected scam of hiring hospital staff through.

Dr Girish, deputy civil surgeon, who is also a medical officer of Fatehabad civil hospital, has been booked under Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act, which is registered at City police station.

Police have taken action on the complaint of an owner of a private nursing home who had accused Dr Girish of doing favors in recruitment for financial gains. The complainant had provided the copy of an audio clip, allegedly involving Girish’s voice, in this case.

Haryana director general of health service Dr Kamboj said the department would certainly act after police files its charge-sheet or accuse the medical officer. He said that as the police have already registered a case, they will conduct a departmental investigation later.

The incident came to light when Fatehabad MLA Dura Ram had also raised the issue of corruption during the meeting of a grievances committee of Fatehabad. Dura Ram and Sirsa MP Sunita Duggal had spoken about the alleged corruption in the hiring of persons through an outsourced agency.

The complainant had provided the audio clips to the grievances committee too. According to information, last Friday, the complainant had written to the home and health minister Anil Vij, additional chief secretary (ACS), health and senior police officers.
