100 medical reports recovered from the offices

NEW DELHI: Three young men allegedly running two bogus medical centres have been arrested by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch. The accused used to issue fake medical reports declaring unskilled workers fit for jobs in the Gulf countries.

The EOW recently received a tip-off that some medical centres at New Friends Colony were conducting superficial medial tests and were issuing fitness certificates to people applying for jobs in the Gulf countries, claiming that the documents had been issued by authorised medical centres located at Jaipur and Lucknow. Enquiries revealed that those applying for jobs in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait are required to produce fitness certificates issued by certain authorised medical centres.

The police tracked down two of the persons who had been issued fake medical certificates. On the basis of their complaints, the police registered two cases and mounted raids at two medical centres.
