Key Points:

  • Gurugram’s Galaxy One Hospital caught running fake “ghost admission” insurance racket

  • About 60 fake claim files linked to 25 insurance companies recovered

  • Fraud worth nearly ₹1 crore using forged lab reports and bills

A private hospital in Gurugram has been busted for allegedly running a systematic medical insurance fraud racket using fake admissions and fabricated medical documents. Three employees have been arrested after a joint raid by police and the Chief Minister’s flying squad revealed fraudulent claims worth about ₹1 crore.

Raid exposes fake patients and paper admissions

The crackdown took place at Galaxy One Hospital, located in Nihal Colony, New Palam Vihar, after a complaint was filed by the Mukhyamantri Udan Daste on February 14, 2026 at Bajghera police station.

Police said a specialized team led by DCP (West) Karan Goyal and ACP (West) Abhilaksh Joshi conducted a raid along with a civil hospital doctor, cyber expert and drug control officer.

Investigators discovered a “paper admission” system where individuals were shown as admitted patients without receiving any treatment.

Nearly 60 fake insurance claim files linked to about 25 insurance companies were recovered during the operation.

Officials said entries were made in the IPD register specifically to generate insurance claims.

Fake lab reports, forged bills and shared payouts

According to police, hospital staff allegedly prepared

  • fake IPD admission records

  • forged laboratory reports

  • fabricated treatment charts

  • bogus pharmacy bills

The fraudulent claims were submitted in collusion with beneficiaries whose names were used in records, and the payouts were shared between them and hospital staff.

Authorities said around 60 percent of submitted claims were cleared by insurers, with each case involving roughly ₹60,000 to ₹70,000.

The total fraud detected so far is estimated at about ₹1 crore.

Three accused identified

Police arrested three hospital employees

  • Sapna, Gurugram resident

  • Varsha, Gurugram resident

  • Gaurav, resident of Khairthal, Rajasthan

A case has been registered under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita related to cheating and forgery.

Linked diagnostic center under scanner

A secondary search at Labswell diagnostic center in Dayanand Colony uncovered additional forged reports allegedly used to support the insurance claims.

Police are now examining digital records and bank transactions to trace other conspirators, including fake patients and possible senior management involvement.

Earlier raid revealed fake degree doctor

The case first surfaced during a preliminary inspection in May 2025 when authorities found irregularities at the hospital, including a doctor allegedly using MBBS and MD qualifications without holding the degree.

Officials said entries were made in the IPD register specifically to generate insurance claims.

Police are continuing the probe to identify the full financial trail and additional participants in the organized fraud network.
