Say what? India jails hospital staff for ’embezzling’ 17 cents
An Indian court has sentenced two medical workers to a year in prison for embezzling 11 rupees (17 cents) in public funds more than 25 years ago, lawyers said Thursday.
The two — a nurse and a medical assistant — were found guilty of inflating the number of sterilisation procedures they helped to perform in 1989 to boost their earnings.
At the time, the government was providing financial incentives for medical workers to persuade men and women to undergo sterilisation under a controversial scheme to curb population growth.
The anti-corruption court in the northern city of Meerut held 185 hearings before reaching a verdict on former nurse Noor Jahan and assistant Shobha Ram, who both retired a decade ago.
Defence lawyer Virender Kumar accused the court of a “lopsided” judgement and said he would appeal.
“We have scamsters who loot millions of rupees from the government but are never punished. And here is a court which jails two people for 22 rupees,” he told AFP by phone.
“They have spent more than three lakh (300,000) rupees on fighting the case and on attending court hearings.
“We will certainly appeal against the lopsided judgement.”
