Women lab staff script med kit scam
The arrest of two women laboratory technicians on Saturday for selling costly medical-testing kits of the civil hospital in Kotkapura, Faridkot has ripped apart a thriving racket .
The duo of Kulwinder Kaur and Rajwinder Kaur was nabbed following an inquiry into the racket on the complaint of a SMO of hospital.
They ran this operation by twisting rules to their advantage by entering fake names in records, passing them off as government employees — who are entitled to free tests. In fact they even used names of their family members. Rajvinder showed a large number of tests in her mother, Ranjit Kaur’s name, including a pregnancy test, but put her age in the record as 57.
Sources said they also declined medical tests to many genuine OPD patients, and directed them to selected private laboratories in the town.
After registering a case, police are interrogating the accused to know which private medical laboratories the kits were sold to.
