₹842 Crore Health Scam: Prosecution Calls Rajiv Rangeela Mastermind, Opposes Bail

The ₹842 crore health scam has taken a serious turn as prosecutors oppose Rajiv Rangeela's bail in a Delhi court, alleging fake companies, domestic workers as directors, procurement manipulation and links to a suicide case.

 

The prosecution has opposed the bail plea of Rajiv Rangeela in the ₹842 crore health scam, describing him as the main mastermind behind the alleged fraud. During arguments before a Delhi court on Tuesday, Senior Additional Public Prosecutor Kumar Sanjay levelled serious allegations against Rangeela, including using domestic workers as directors of shell companies, obstructing the investigation and abetting suicide.

The prosecution told the court that Rangeela had allegedly manipulated public procurement processes in collusion with government officials and siphoned off hundreds of crores of rupees. It also alleged that he concealed crucial documents and repeatedly obstructed the investigation.

The prosecution further claimed that Rangeela had appointed his domestic workers as directors of several fake companies. His name had also surfaced in a suicide case involving the director of one such company.

The prosecution alleged that Rangeela had established seven fake companies, retaining actual ownership and control while placing other people's names on official records. According to the prosecution, Rangeela himself owned F-Med, while domestic workers allegedly served as directors of his other companies.

During the investigation, the deceased man's son reportedly told the police that Rangeela had fraudulently obtained his father's Aadhaar and other documents and appointed him as a director of a shell company. The company had subsequently submitted bids for the supply of linen (fabric).

According to the prosecution, when the police arrived at the man's residence to conduct a raid, he allegedly died by suicide.

The allegations presented before the Delhi court place the use of shell companies, alleged manipulation of public procurement and the concealment of documents at the centre of the ₹842 crore health scam. The prosecution has relied on these allegations while opposing Rajiv Rangeela's bail plea.
