Delhi Court Grants Four-Week Interim Bail to Former DGHS Official in Procurement Scam
A Delhi court granted four weeks' interim bail on medical grounds to former DGHS official Dr Vatsala Aggarwal, accused in a Rs 600-crore medical equipment procurement scam. The bail was allowed due to her multiple health issues, including hypertension and asthma, with conditions such as furnishing a bail bond and undergoing medical treatment. Her co-accused, Dr Vinod Kumar Ranga, had his bail plea rejected earlier. The case involves alleged large-scale financial irregularities in health procurement by the Central Procurement Agency under DGHS.
