The last patient, whose death at the Agarwal Medical Centre brought it under police lens, was referred to it by Julfikar, sources said.
The fake hospital in South Delhi where two patients died after being operated on, allegedly by unqualified doctors, used to get people referred to it by a local pharmacy, sources said. Questioning of the arrested suspects led the police to the pharmacy, where they found the owner, Julfikar ran it without a valid license. The last patient, whose death at the Agarwal Medical Centre brought it under police lens, was referred to it by Julfikar, sources said.
Earlier this week, four people -- Dr Neeraj Agarwal, his wife Pooja Agarwal and Dr Jaspreet Singh - were arrested along with former laboratory technician Mahender Singh -- were arrested from the Agarwal Medical Centre after deaths of two patients who underwent surgeries. The patients' families have alleged that Dr Agarwal is a physician but he has forged documents and performs a varied range of surgeries.
Julfikar used to sell homeopathic and allopathic medicines at the clinic-cum-medicine shop in Sangam Vihar, sources said. But he did not have a valid license to sell medicines and had contacted Dr Neeraj Aggarwal. He had got Aggarwal's number from the cards that were distributed by the Agarwal Medical Centre employees in Sangam Vihar.
