Rohtak, October 6

Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij has ordered the suspension of Dr Nitya Nand, Senior Professor and Head of the Department of Medicine at the Rohtak PGIMS, who is also serving as the director of the institute.

In the said order, Vij has maintained that going by a communiqué received at his office, it appeared as if Dr Nitya Nand had been favouring a private laboratory by referring patients and placing orders for medicines.

“Hence, I would like that the said doctor be suspended with immediate effect and departmental enquiry conducted against him,” the order states.

The University of Health Sciences (UHS) Registrar, Dr H. K. Agarwal, conceded that a copy of the said order was received by the university authorities late last evening.

On the other hand, Dr Nitya Nand has refuted the allegations.
