New Delhi, June 17 (IANS) The five-star hotels connected to hospitals in the national capital can provide services including rooms, housekeeping, disinfection and food at the price not greater than Rs 5,000 per Covid-19 patient per day.

On June 10, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government had informed Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal that five and four-star hotels have been linked to big hospitals with an upper price cap of Rs 10,000 per day per bed.

Eight hotels have been converted into extended Covid-19 facilities in a bid to ramp up the number of beds for patients amid a spurt in infections. The hotels would provide beds, housekeeping, food as well as medical services.

In an order, Health and Family Welfare Secretary Padmini Singla said, "The hotel shall provide hotel services including rooms, housekeeping, disinfection and food for the patients at the price not greater than Rs 5,000 for five-star hotels and Rs 4,000 for four and three-star hotels per day per person."

The linked hospitals should be paid an amount, not greater than Rs 5,000 per patient per day for their medical services ton Bills Negotiation Limit and Export Packing Credit Limit.

In pursuance of the conspiracy, the CBI said, the overseas company allegedly got sanctioned and released facilities of Rs 60 crore. It was further alleged that after availing the limits, the accused company diverted the funds and prepared forged and fabricated documents in support of the claim causing loss to the tune of Rs 57.26 crore to the Bank of India, the CBI said.

Meanwhile, the Bank in its complaint to the CBI alleged that in 2015, an inspection of the company was conducted during which a number of irregularities were found.

"The bank then declared the loan as a Non Performing Asset on March 31, 2015 due to non-servicing of interest and continuous overdues position of bills," the bank said in its complaint.

It further said that the Head Office fraud monitoring Unit of the bank red flagged the account ordering a forensic audit by Ernst and Young.

"In the forensic audit report submitted on March 31, 2017, it was pointed out that there was a diversion of loan funds to a sister concern, to other companies and there was even a flat purchase agreement between Aaksha Kamboj, wife of Kamboj and Pooja Construction owned by a noted film producer Vashu Bhagnani," it said.

The bank accused the company of being indulged in transactions which were not genuine.

The auditor also pointed out other serious irregularities in the report and the account was declared fraud on June 19, 2018, it said.

Following the news of FIR on him, Kamboj, who changed his title as Bharatiya said that he has cleared his dues with the bank and even if the CBI wants to investigate then he will cooperate with full capacity.

"I have paid all the dues and the bank has issued no due Certificate! After Payment of dues and two and half years of closure of account if any agency wants to investigate, I as a citizen will cooperate with full capacity! Truth will Prevail!," Kamboj said in a tweet, attaching the no dues certificate issued by the bank.
