An AIIMS Rishikesh employee is under scrutiny after being accused of defrauding a man out of over Rs 5 lakh with a false job promise, as police initiate legal action. The case was lodged following a directive from Uttarakhand's Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.

Senior Sub-Inspector Bhagat Singh Rawat stated that the complaint was filed by Sagar Chaudhary, who alleged that Junior Administrative Assistant Siddhant Sharma promised him a job at AIIMS Rishikesh in exchange for Rs 5.59 lakh. Sharma only returned Rs 2 lakh, leaving Chaudhary without the promised job.

AIIMS Rishikesh's Public Relations Officer Sandeep Kumar revealed that Sharma had faced previous fraud allegations, which have been fully investigated. A report has been submitted to authorities and a presiding officer appointed as the action against Sharma reaches its final stages.
