The Punjab government on Friday said that they will chargesheet Dr Sameer Kaushal for running a private hospital in Mohali while working at a government hospital as well. He was a caught in a sting operation by Chief Parliamentary Secretary (Health) Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu.
"I have sent the file to Health Minister Madan Mohan Mittal, recommending suspension of Dr Sameer Kaushal. Once the file comes back, orders will be issued for his suspension. He is already deemed to be suspended as he was arrested yesterday," Principal Secretary (Health) Vinni Mahajan told a leading daily. "Also, he will be issued a chargesheet. No doctor who has a private practice or runs a hospital will be spared if it comes to our notice.''
Sidhu maintains she has more complaints with her about docs who run private practices on the side. "There are 2 to 3 per cent doctors in the state who have a private practice or run hospitals despite being in government service. They are getting non-practising allowance besides salaries. Either they should resign and do private practice, or do their duty."
