Delhi medical procurement scam is an alleged around ₹700 crore financial fraud involving irregularities in the purchase of medicines and medical devices for government-run hospitals. Items were allegedly procured at inflated prices—for example, ORS packets with a base value of ₹2.5 were reportedly billed at ₹15, while an X-ray machine valued at ₹10 lakh was allegedly purchased for ₹33 lakh.
