In a case of gross misconduct, three doctors have been booked for allegedly siphoning off Rs 4.75 lakh from the Chief Minister’s Medical Assistance Fund by submitting forged patient records and treatment documents at a hospital in Maharashtra’s Thane district, officials said. In a statement issued Saturday evening, the Chief Minister’s Office described the alleged fraud as "deeply disturbing", noting that the fund is intended to help financially disadvantaged patients access urgent medical care. In view of the seriousness of the case, the probe has now been handed over to the Economic Offences Wing.
