The CBI has registered two cases against faculty members of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, and private companies for alleged corruption in setting up a chemist shop on the campus.
The central agency on Friday conducted searches at 24 locations, including Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi, they said.
The agency has named, among others, then additional professor in the microbiology department Balram Ji Omar, then anatomy professor Brijendra Singh, assistant professor Anubha Agarwal, administrative officer Shashi Kant and accounts officer Deepak Joshi in the first case. In the second case, the CBI has booked Triveni Sewa Pharmacy partners Pankaj Sharma and Shubham Sharma, besides the company.
It was alleged that the officials screened out reputed bidders on bogus grounds and allowed small firms who had misrepresented facts in their tender documents to remain in the fray.
