But as the allegations were not found, the supervisor made a second round of investigation committee. Driver Mohsin said that he was harassing in the name of investigation because he did not give the 1 lakh taka demanded by the caretaker. Before submitting the investigation report, I apologize and ask for an answer. He is accused of using an ambulance for his journey by showing a false address to carry a pregnant woman.

Due to the failure to purchase medicines of this amount on time, the patients are deprived due to the shortage of medicines in the government supply. He is alleged to have benefited from a single decision even though the hospital’s procurement committee disagreed with most of his objective decisions. Similarly, in the financial year 2002-24, despite having dengue test worms in the hospital, huge amount of worms were purchased.
