Inquiry panel wants FIR lodged against then Nashik Civil Hospital officials & firm for cheating govt
Nashik: A district committee led by Ashima Mittal, the then Nashik zilla parishad CEO, has uncovered irregularities amounting to Rs 11 crore in the tender process to construct a 30-bed modular ICU at Nashik Civil Hospital and a 10-bed modular ICU at Malegaon during 2021-22 and procuring of medical equipment, said Nashik civil surgeon Charudatta Shinde on Thursday. The projects were financed through Centre's Emergency Covid Response Programme-II funds. The alleged irregularities include a part payment of Rs 3.4 crore made without any provision and a payment of Rs 7.7 crore for the purchase of medical equipment — both to the same company that was not even registered with the Food and Drugs Administration. Following complaints by the then Union minister of state Bharati Pawar and Nashik Central MLA Devyani Pharande regarding the tender process, the district-level committee headed by Mittal was set up to investigate the allegations. The committee conducted its inquiry and submitted a report to the commissioner of the National Health Mission, which oversaw the construction of the ICUs. Mittal has recently been transferred to Jalna as collector. "The committee headed by the CEO in its July 23, 2025, report found that the part payment to the company was made despite there being no provisions for the same and without appropriate govt directives, for which show cause notices have to be issued to the then civil surgeon and other officials. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Meet The Lover Of Cliff Richard - Try Not To Gag Outlier Model Undo Also, the same company was engaged in the purchase of medical equipment despite not being registered with the Food and Drugs Administration and, therefore, an FIR has to be registered against it," said Charudatta Shinde. The committee noted that the company was initially awarded the construction work of the modular ICUs for Rs 9.5 crore following the tender process. However, the then commissioner of NHM questioned the work order's issuance without state approval and ordered the work to stop. A revised proposal of Rs 6.7 crore was submitted, reducing the number of cubicles instead of revising the rates. Nevertheless, the company had already received a part payment of Rs 3.4 crore. "In this case, the notice has been issued to then civil surgeon Dr Ashok Thorat and the officials concerned. Their response is expected soon," said Shinde. Additionally, the committee found that the same company supplied medical equipment worth Rs 7.7 crore through 10 different tenders without being registered with the FDA, Thane office, and had provided forged documents. "As per the reports from the FDA's Thane office, the committee has said that the company by that name is not registered. The company has provided details of another Bhiwandi-based company, which means it has forged documents and cheated govt to get the tender for supplies. Therefore, it should be blacklisted, and a criminal offence should also be registered against it. We are in the process of filing the complaint with the police," said Shinde. Dr Ashok Thorat, the then civil surgeon, said he had received the notice and would respond accordingly. "We have received the notice about the issue. We will present our say to the district committee on Monday," Dr Thorat said without commenting further. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
