Gujarat high court grants bail to director, marketing execs of Khyati Hospital
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat high court on Tuesday granted bail to three accused persons – one director and two marketing executives of Khyati Hospital – in connection with the deaths of two PMJAY beneficiaries after they underwent angioplasty procedures at the hospital last year.

Justice M R Mengdey granted conditional bail to hospital director Chirag Rajput, marketing executive Pankil Patel, and marketing manager Pratik Bhatt, on each of them furnishing a personal bail bond of Rs 10,000 and surety of an equal amount. They approached the court for bail through advocate Ajj Murjani.

According to the prosecution, Rajput has a 6.8% share in the hospital. He was involved in the overall administration of the hospital and overaw the activities of the marketing team. It was alleged that he pressured the marketing team to bring more patients to the hospital, and with this intention, more medical camps were organised by Khyati Hospital. For Patel and Bhatt, it was alleged that they also persuaded the patients to undergo the procedures in question.
