Telangana: CID raids 17 hospitals

Hyderabad: The Crime Investigation Department (CID) officials on Monday carried out extensive raids at 17 private and corporate hospitals across Telangana, targeting irregularities in Chief Minister's Relief Fund (CMRF) transactions.

The CID, following a directive from the state government, initiated the raids after an audit uncovered significant discrepancies in CMRF applications over the past decade. The investigation revealed that hospital managements, in collusion with agents, allegedly forged and falsified documents to secure CMRF funds fraudulently.

In response to the findings, CID officials registered cases against the involved hospital managements. Raids were swiftly conducted in multiple districts, including Karimnagar, Ranga Reddy, Warangal, and Medak, as part of the ongoing investigation.
