Police unearth pharmacy link in deadly Delhi medical racket

The shocking revelations surrounding a fake hospital in South Delhi, where two patients tragically lost their lives in surgeries allegedly performed by unqualified doctors, expose a web of deception and negligence. The police investigation traced the origin of referrals to a local pharmacy, owned by Julfikar, operating without a valid license.

Four individuals, including Dr. Neeraj Agarwal, his wife Pooja Agarwal, Dr. Jaspreet Singh, and former laboratory technician Mahender Singh, were apprehended from the Agarwal Medical Centre following the deaths of two patients. Disturbingly, families accuse Dr. Agarwal of forging documents and engaging in surgeries beyond his medical expertise.

Julfikar, previously selling homeopathic and allopathic medicines without proper authorization, established contact with Dr. Neeraj Aggarwal through cards distributed by the medical center’s employees. This illicit alliance spanned six years, during which Julfikar referred 40 to 50 patients monthly for procedures, including kidney and gallbladder surgeries, as well as deliveries and abortions.

In a dubious agreement, Dr. Neeraj Aggarwal agreed to pay Julfikar 35% of the billed amount for each patient, with transactions executed through UPI. The culmination of this arrangement resulted in the death of the last referred patient, Asgar Ali, during a gallbladder surgery allegedly conducted by Pooja Agarwal and Mahendra.

The financial stakes were high, with Dr. Neeraj Aggarwal charging ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 for deliveries and stone operations, and ₹5,000 to ₹6,000 for abortions. Julfikar’s substantial earnings underscore the severity of this exploitative collaboration.

Disturbingly, police records show at least nine complaints against Dr. Agarwal, Pooja, and the Agarwal Medical Centre since 2016. Shockingly, seven of these cases involved patient deaths attributed to medical negligence, painting a dire picture of the consequences of this fraudulent medical operation.
