Rishikesh: The CBI has started an investigation into alleged irregularities in appointments and purchases at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh during the tenure of its former Director Ravi Kant.
A CBI team began its search and seizure operations at AIIMS, Rishikesh on Saturday and seized many documents, AIIMS Rishikesh PRO Harish Thapliyal said on Sunday. The CBI raids follow allegations by social and political organisations in procurement and recruitments made by former AIIMS Director Ravi Kant.
Before the CBI began its probe into the case, the Central Vigilance Commission had also conducted a detailed investigation into the alleged irregularities in material procurements and appointments made during Ravi Kant's tenure, an AIIMS official said, requesting anonymity.
