Gurgaon:  The owner of Fortis Memorial Research Institute and six doctors were booked for cheating and other charges after a man moved a court alleging that the hospital had not conducted tests on his daughter properly. Fortis Sunday said it would comment after studying the police complaint.

Owner Malvinder Mohan Singh and doctors Sanjeev K. Choudhary, Neeraj Parkash, Ritu Chadha, Nandini Vasdev, Vineet Pant and Abhinav Singhal have been booked for breach of trust, cheating, criminal conspiracy and some other sections of the Indian Penal Code.

The complainant moved the court saying the hospital had caused him and his family mental trauma by generating wrong test reports of his four-year-old daughter which indicated she was gravely ill and even after they were disproved, refused to admit their error.

Siddharth Punia, a resident of DLF-5 area in Sector 54, told the district court that his daughter Rutvi complained of joint pain in November, and was taken to an orthopaedics specialist at Fortis, who referred the case to a paediatric rheumatologist at Delhi's Sir Gangaram Hospital as there was no clinical finding of any abnormality.

The doctors found the child normal after clinical examination but suggested some more tests.
