A Rouse Avenue court in New Delhi is handling bail applications concerning an alleged Rs 700 crore medical procurement scam. The case involves the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) and the Central Procurement Agency (CPA), following allegations that procurement processes for medicines and surgical equipment were manipulated to purchase supplies at inflated rates.

In recent rulings, the court dismissed the bail plea of Dr. Vinod Kumar Ranga, the former in-charge of the Central Procurement Agency. However, the court granted four weeks of interim bail to the former Director General of Health Services, Dr. Vatsala Aggarwal, on medical grounds due to her age and various ailments.
