Majithia Raises Concerns About Mann’s Health As Punjab CM Is Under Hospital Observation

September 27, 2024, 3:33 am

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was admitted to Fortis Hospital, Mohali, late Wednesday night, following concerns over his health. According to sources, the CM fainted multiple times and is undergoing thorough medical tests. Though the exact nature of the illness has not been disclosed, officials confirmed that Mann is in stable condition.
A late evening statement from the CMO said various tests are being conducted to assess his health condition. According to the doctors, the Chief Minister is currently in good health and has no significant issues, it said.

“However, the doctors have found symptoms of inflammation in an artery of his lungs, which is putting pressure on his heart, causing fluctuations in blood pressure. Further tests are required, and additional blood tests have been conducted, the results of which are still pending. Therefore, we will keep the Chief Minister under observation overnight and make a decision after reviewing the reports tomorrow morning,” it added.
Earlier in the day, AAP claimed that the Chief Minister was admitted for a routine check-up.
Only a few days earlier, Mann had to return to Delhi from Mohali airport after experiencing low blood pressure.

Shiromani Akali Dal Majithia leader Bikram Majithia has raised doubts over the AAP narrative. He claimed “credible information” that Mann is in an advanced stage of liver disease. Majithia said that Mann had been hospitalised in an emergency due to fluid accumulation in his lungs and stomach, causing breathlessness—symptoms consistent with liver cirrhosis. He claimed the government tried to keep the hospitalisation secret, only releasing a brief statement after his public tweet on the issue.
Majithia further said that if Mann’s hospitalization was truly for a routine check-up, there would have been no need to admit him late at night, and the extended stay suggests a more serious health condition. He urged the government to be transparent, stating that Punjabis deserve to know the health status of their Chief Minister, particularly given Punjab’s sensitive border location.

Majithia also highlighted previous instances of Mann’s deteriorating health, noting that the CM had recently been treated at a private hospital in Delhi. He emphasized the need for clarity, drawing parallels to the secrecy surrounding Tamil Nadu’s late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s health, which led to public speculation and investigations.
The SAD leader called on both the Punjab government and hospital authorities to disclose the Chief Minister’s exact condition and treatment.
Majithia wished Mann a speedy recovery.

Mohali Hotel Murder: Woman Stabbed To Death By Live-In Partner

June 21, 2024, 1:07 pm

A woman was found murdered in a hotel in Mohali, Punjab, on Thursday, with her live-in partner confessing to the crime. The victim, identified as Sunita, was from Sultanpur village in Nawashehar (SBS Nagar) and was in a relationship with Sunil, also from Nawashehar and an electrician with a four-year-old son.

The hotel staff discovered the crime when they noticed the door of Sunita’s room ajar. Upon investigation, they found her body on the bed, covered in blood from multiple stab wounds.

According to police, Sunil suspected Sunita of infidelity, leading to a violent confrontation where he stabbed her repeatedly. Sunil had called Sunita to Mohali three days prior, and both were staying at the hotel.

Sunil surrendered to the Gharshankar police station and was subsequently arrested by the Mohali police. DSP (city-1) Mohit Aggarwal confirmed the arrest and stated that the investigation was ongoing. The victim’s identity was confirmed through her Aadhaar Card, which she had provided during check-in.

Mohali Hospital Fined Rs 1.2 Lakh For Inflating Elderly Man’s Covid Bill

June 13, 2024, 2:53 pm

The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission of Chandigarh has ordered Max Super Speciality Hospital to compensate VK Agarwal, a 76-year-old man from Chandigarh, with Rs 1.20 lakh for inflating his COVID-19 treatment bill.

Agarwal filed a complaint stating he was admitted to Max Super Speciality Hospital on January 23, 2021, for COVID treatment and discharged on February 12, 2021. The hospital billed him Rs 7,62,445, with Rs 1,11,851 charged directly to him and the remainder to his insurance.

Agarwal discovered discrepancies in the bill, including unjustified charges for a dietician visit not covered by insurance and erroneous physiotherapy fees. He noted that the dietician advised him to consume milk at night, despite his ulcerative colitis, and that the physiotherapist only demonstrated exercises once.

The hospital defended the charges, stating they were in line with their tariff and agreement with the insurance company, and insisted that all billed services were provided. Oriental Insurance, represented by Raksha Health Insurance, claimed they processed and paid the claim according to policy terms, dismissing other allegations.

The Commission concluded that the hospital improperly billed for a dietician visit that provided inappropriate advice to a colitis patient, charged for physiotherapy not performed as stated, and included excessive fees for items like surgical gloves.

“The advice of the dietician to take milk at night to the patient/ consumer, who is suffering from ulcerative colitis is a wrong advice which could lead to serious consequences on the health of the patient/ consumer, which is a clear-cut negligence on the part of the dietician and amounts to deficiency in service,” the commission noted.

“Further the hospital failed to lead any cogent and convincing documentary evidence to justify the said charges billed from the complainant. Therefore, it is held that the Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali has illegally exaggerated the medical bill of the complainant by adding wrong charges for the services, which were never provided to the complainant, and this (behavior) amounts to deficiency in service as well as adoption of unfair trade practice on the parts of the hospital,” held the commission.

It directed Max Super Speciality Hospital to compensate the complainant by paying an amount of Rs 1,20,000 for “causing loss, harassment and mental agony due to its deficient services” as well as “indulgence into unfair trade practice”, which also includes litigation expenses.

Punjab Police Busts Two Fake Call Centres in Mohali, 155 Arrested For US Fraud Scams

May 18, 2024, 3:33 pm

In a swift overnight operation conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Cyber Crime Division of the Punjab Police dismantled two fraudulent call centres operating in Mohali. A total of 155 individuals employed at these centres were apprehended, accused of perpetrating scams targeting residents of the United States (US) through deceptive phone calls, authorities revealed.

Located in Mohali Sector 74, both call centres were masterminded by individuals based in Gujarat who are currently evading arrest. Law enforcement agencies are actively pursuing leads to apprehend them, stated police officials.

Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav disclosed, “Preliminary investigations indicate that these call centres operated during night hours, with callers deceiving foreign nationals into purchasing gift cards from retailers such as Target, Apple, and Amazon.” Yadav added that the collected gift cards were shared with the orchestrators by a team manager, who then redeemed them for monetary gain.

V Neeraja, ADGP Cyber Crime, detailed the police’s operation, attributing the success to intelligence inputs developed by Inspector Gaganpreet Singh and Inspector Daljit Singh, supported by technical expertise from the Digital Investigation Training and Analysis Centre (DITAC) lab of Cybercrime.

Neeraja further explained the fraudulent tactics employed by the scammers, including payday fraud, Amazon-related scams, and Microsoft impersonation schemes. These schemes targeted vulnerable individuals in the US, coercing them to purchase gift cards or transfer money under false pretences.

Materials seized during the raids included 79 desktop computers, 204 laptops, mobile phones, and other accessories, along with training scripts used by the fraudsters. Out of the 155 arrested, 18 individuals have been remanded to police custody, while the remainder await judicial proceedings.

An FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Information Technology (IT) Act at the State Cyber Crime Cell Police Station, as authorities continue their investigation into the extent of the fraudulent activities and anticipate further arrests in the near future.
