The investigations were prompted by allegations of corruption and irregularities within the hospital. The ACB team, led by Central Investigation DSP Lakshmi Kanth Reddy, focused on reviewing administrative records at the hospital's administrative section. Meanwhile, the Food Safety inspectors took charge of examining the canteen, while the Drug inspectors inspected surgical stores, checking medicines, medical equipment, and storage records. The inspections aim to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and uncover any potential wrongdoing.
