Entire Medanta assertion:

We are shocked to see the allegations towards Medanta Hospital and its Chairman, by a person who has managed to get information house with irresponsible and frivolous accusations, with none scrutiny of his claims. While Medanta has at all times let our work and dedication to healthcare converse for itself, we really feel compelled to set the file straight with what we see showing as information gadgets previously few days.

An particular person, Raman Sharma, claiming to be an RTI activist, however as reported by the media, has been accused of extortion, has made fully false and baseless allegations towards our Chairman and others. The allegations are absurd, and in reality, what has been ignored is that Raman Sharma had beforehand filed two instances, an identical to this one, in Delhi, one in Patiala House Court and one within the Delhi High Court. Both these instances have been dismissed, and the decide rejected his allegations as “vague, unspecific and not even a single incident with sufficient detail has been mentioned in the entire complaint.”

After failing within the courts in Delhi, he went to the District Court in Gurugram. He didn’t confide in the Court in Gurugram {that a} full enquiry had already been accomplished and it was discovered that the allegations have been baseless. This is how he mischievously misled the court docket into passing an Order in his favour, which ought to by no means have been handed.

Raman Sharma has been accused of extortion in 2015 and an FIR was registered towards him (FIR 0548 dated 10/10/2015 on the Central Police Station, Faridabad). Extortionists have discovered a fertile breeding floor, whereas claiming to be RTI activists. The proven fact that the allegations in his criticism pertain to the 16-year-old land allotment on which the hospital is constructed demonstrates this. We delight ourselves in sturdy ideas of governance and monetary transparency. The allegations within the criticism are nothing wanting absurd.

We are within the midst of a worldwide pandemic. Many of our docs, together with our Chairman, regardless of being over 65 years of age, proceed to are inclined to their sufferers selflessly, within the face of this pandemic, placing themselves in danger daily to serve others. We are pained that within the midst of the braveness they exhibit daily, they’re compelled to handle fully malicious and false allegations.

Despite the harassment from sure people, we will proceed to focus our vitality and sources on saving lives and offering healthcare, particularly at time when it has by no means been extra essential than it’s now.
