Delhi Court Grants Interim Bail to Former DGHS Chief in Medical Procurement Scam
A Delhi court granted four weeks' interim bail on medical grounds to former DGHS chief Dr Vatsala Aggarwal, accused in a multi-crore medical equipment procurement scam. The court cited her health issues, including hypertension and diabetes, while rejecting bail for co-accused Dr Vinod Kumar Ranga. The Anti-Corruption Branch alleges large-scale financial irregularities, destroyed tender files, and complex money trails involving hundreds of bank accounts linked to the scam. Investigations continue amid ongoing legal proceedings.
