В госпитале Виявады сотрудники похитили 50 миллионов рублей, перенаправляя платежи пациентов на личные счета

Vijayawada: A corporate hospital in Vijayawada has lodged a police complaint alleging that two employees diverted nearly ₹5 crore in patient payments to their personal accounts over several years, turning routine billing transactions into a major fraud. The accused employees — a receptionist and a cashier — allegedly manipulated the hospital’s UPI payment system to divert payments made by patients for outpatient consultations and scan reports. The fraud continued for around five years, with portions of daily collections reportedly routed to the employees’ personal UPI accounts instead of the hospital’s designated account. The diversion came to light after the hospital management noticed discrepancies between bills generated and payments received. An internal verification found that UPI payments made by patients were being redirected to accounts linked to the employees. The hospital subsequently reviewed transactions spanning several years and estimated the alleged loss at nearly ₹5 crore. The management subsequently approached Suryaraopet police and lodged a complaint against the two employees. Police have registered a case and launched an investigation.
