How tender 'irregularities' created an Rs 640-crore hole in Delhi’s health budget

Delhi's Anti-Corruption Branch has arrested former DGHS director Vatsala Aggarwal and ex-deputy controller Neeraj Chopra in a massive Rs 640-crore procurement scam. They are accused of manipulating tenders for medicines and equipment, causing significant losses by favouring specific suppliers for inflated-price purchases. This breakthrough follows an FIR and earlier arrest, revealing a deep-rooted conspiracy within the Central Procurement Agency.
