THe telephone exchange Bureau of investigating (CBI) arrested an additional theatre director of CGHS, Meerut, on tues and 2 more for allegedly demanding a bribe of ₹50 lakh from a hospital for not de-empanelling them from a government scheme, an official said.The probe agency arrested Additional Director Ajay Kumar and office Superintendent Lavesh Solanki, both posted in Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), Swasthya Bhavan Meerut, and a middleman, Raees Ahmad.The CBI had earlier booked them on a complaint from a director of the hospital group, alleging that Kumar and his cronies demanded a bribe for not de-empanelling two hospitals affiliated with the group.The complaint centred around a surprise inspection conducted by a team from CGHS Meerut on July 8 at two of the group's hospitals.The CGHS team issued notices citing "frivolous deficiencies" in both facilities and threatened to de-empanel them, allegedly to extort money, they said.The de-empanelment of the hospitals would have rendered them ineligible for treating patients under the CGHS scheme."Both the accused public servants had insisted on the delivery of bribe amount of ₹50 lakh at the earliest to avoid de-empanelment of the hospitals," a CBI spokesperson said in a statement.The officials agreed to accept a partial payment of ₹5 lakh as the first instalment of the bribe, but then the hospital complained.A team raided the premises where Kumar, Solanki and Ahmad were caught red-handed while taking the bribe, the spokesperson said.The agency also conducted searches at the residences of the accused.
