New Delhi: The Karnataka Police on Wednesday unearthed black marketing of hospital beds at Sadashivnagar police station limits in Bengaluru and arrested three people in connection with the case.
On May 4, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya alleged that hospitals in the city blocked at least 4,065 beds in fake names to make a killing at a time when COVID-19 cases were rising in the country and Karnataka. These beds are blocked in the name of asymptomatic patients who are in home isolation. They are fraudulently shown as occupying the beds in hospitals, he had alleged.
While levelling the charges, the BJP Yuva Morcha President and Bengaluru South MP had named 16 people of a particular community and sought to know why they are controlling the COVID war room in the city. A city civic official told PTI that there are over 200 people in the COVID war room and not just 16 as mentioned by the MP.
