A laboratory administrator in Vadodara lodged a police complaint against the person who made a bogus Covid-19 positive report of the laboratory and used it in an insurance company to defraud Mediclaim for financial gain. J.P. Road Police have registered an offense under sections including fraud and has taken legal action against the claimant.
Dr. Ankit Zaveri runs a laboratory near Radhakrishna crossing and also started Covid-19 tests there. On 15th December, a report from HDFC Agro Health Mediclaim Insurance Company on the Covid-19 positive test of a patient Nimesh Kumar Parmar came to the lab from the reference of Dr. Ravi Patel.
The online registration of the suspected laboratory revealed that no Covid-19 test of such a person was conducted by the lab and no Covid-19 positive report has been given from this lab. This was reported to the insurance company.
Details surfaced that Nimesh Parmar had forged a report to obtain Mediclaim money for his own personal gain. The laboratory manager lodged a complaint against Nimesh Parmar at the JP Road police station.
The police began an investigation into the matter.
