A scam involving alleged siphoning of approximately Rs 700 crore, three arrests, and roughly a dozen government officials under investigation went entirely unmentioned on primetime television on Monday, even as anchors spent their segments on the Ayodhya Ram Mandir donation theft case, a viral video implicating a Tamil Nadu minister in a drugs controversy, and updates on the Ketan Agarwal murder case.
The Delhi medical procurement scam centres on the Central Procurement Agency (CPA), under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) of the Delhi government, which allegedly inflated bills for medical equipment and supplies by several times their market value, according to a report in The Indian Express.
