“A notice was issued to Dr Gupta asking him to appear before police but he did not appear. We will serve him another notice Friday,” the SP said.
On March 15, a case was registered against Dr Gupta for allegedly committing financial irregularities to the tune of ₹50 crore when he was superintendent of DKS Post Graduate Institute and Research Centre, Raipur.
Current superintendent of DKS hospital Dr Kamal Kishore Sahare had lodged a complaint in this regard.
Sahare said in the complaint that a probe committee had found that Gupta allegedly misused his position and committed a fraud of ₹50 crore.
