Dead Patients 'Billed' for Dialysis: Shocking Scam Allegations at Chandauli Medical College
Former MLA Manoj Singh 'Dabloo' alleges Chandauli Medical College billed for dialysis in the names of deceased patients.
A massive controversy has erupted at the Kamlapati Tripathi Joint District Hospital and Medical College in Chandauli, where the dialysis unit is facing grave allegations of financial irregularities. The scandal involves claims that the hospital administration has been generating bills for dialysis treatments in the names of patients who are already dead.
Ghost Patients and Future Billing
The allegations were brought to light by former Samajwadi Party MLA Manoj Singh 'Dabloo', who has accused the hospital of a brazen fraud. According to the former lawmaker, the irregularities are not just about deceased patients, but involve baffling chronological errors. He claims that billing entries for the year 2026 were recorded for patients who had actually passed away back in 2023.
The financial scale of these suspected fraudulent entries varies, with bills being processed for amounts of 1,350 rupees, 1,650 rupees, and 1,850 rupees per patient.
Whistleblowers Under Threat
The controversy didn't start with the political outcry. Before the former MLA spoke out, employees within the dialysis unit had already sounded the alarm. Staff members submitted a written complaint to District Magistrate Chandra Mohan Garg and the Chief Medical Officer, urging a thorough investigation into the system.
However, the whistleblowers claim that instead of being heard, they were met with intimidation. The staff alleged that they were threatened with termination from their jobs for opposing the suspected misconduct and reporting the irregularities.
Who is being accused?
The complaints filed by the staff specifically name two key figures in the unit:
- Neha Kumari, the manager of the unit.
- Dr. Subhash Kumar, a physician at the facility.
As of now, official responses from the accused parties are still pending.
Demands for Justice and Investigation
Manoj Singh 'Dabloo' has called for an impartial inquiry into the matter, insisting that those responsible for the scam face strict disciplinary action. He emphasized that the employees who had the courage to report the fraud should be protected by the administration rather than being penalized or threatened.
The former MLA also raised serious questions regarding the hospital's internal monitoring systems, questioning how such glaring errors—including billing for the year 2026—could occur without being detected by supervisors.
What Happens Next?
To uncover the truth, authorities are expected to conduct a rigorous reconciliation process. This will involve cross-referencing several critical documents, including:
- Official medical records of the patients.
- Death certificates to verify dates of passing.
- Dialysis machine logs to see if treatments actually took place.
- Final billing documentation.
The district administration's formal response and the final investigation report are currently awaited to determine if this was a case of administrative negligence or a deliberate financial scam.
