Punit Gupta asked to appear before police within 3 days

Raipur Police on Wednesday served notice to former chief minister Raman Singh’s son-in-law Punit Gupta to appear before Gol Bazar police station within three days in connection with a multi-crore scam, rejecting Gupta’s plea for 20 days time.

Gupta had sought more time to appear before the police on health ground.

An FIR was earlier lodged against Gupta at a police station in Raipur for allegedly misappropriating Rs 50 crore misusing his position as a superintendent of DK Super-Specialty Hospital.

The complaint was lodged by present superintendent of the hospital K.K. Sahare.

In his complaint, Sahare alleged that large-scale irregularities took place when Gupta was the superintendent of the hospital from December 2015 to October 2018.

He alleged that Gupta misused his influence and bypassed rules to appoint doctors and other staff, and also misused government funds to buy redundant machines that had nothing to do with treatment of patients.

Gupta has been charged under sections 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 468 (forgery for the purpose of cheating) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.
