Health and Family Welfare took an arbitrary step and brokered a deal between the kin of a deceased boy who died in the Medanta hospital during treatment. The hospital was initially accused of overcharging and medical negligence. The reporter on this case writes, "Medanta used the opportunity to hush Gopendra (deceased boy's father) up completely and kill his criminal complaint against them. For now and in this case, the hospital appears to have succeeded." In 2019, the Government of Jharkhand issued a directive to take legal action against the Medanta Abdur Razzaque Ansari Memorial Weavers' Hospital in Ranchi for a suspected instance of medical negligence involving a kidney transplant; the doctors did not filter the blood before the transplant, thus the operation failed. When the public petition was being heard, the patient's relatives brought forward an allegation that the doctor who operated was putting pressure on them to retract the first information report they had filed against him at the Ormanjhi police station. In 2019, Madhya Pradesh High Court fined the Indore unit of the hospital , for failing to establish an internal complaints committee as required by Section 4(1) of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. In June 2020, the Enforcement Directorate filed a money laundering case against the hospital, its chairman Naresh Trehan, Atul Punj and unidentified Haryana government officials for suspected irregularities in the hospital's 2004 land allocation. In 2021, the District Collector of Indore ordered the closure of Indore's Medanta hospital-owned pharmacy store because "the hospital was not providing any information" to the state's Chief Medical Health Officer (CMHO). Earlier, an inquiry was initiated against an overcharging case by the same officer, but the hospital administration "did not pay heed to it." Accidents In 2017, an air ambulance from Medanta Hospital en route to Bangkok was involved in a crash landing at Nakhon Phanom Airport, about 730 kilometers from the Thai capital, resulting in the pilot's death and injuring two medical professionals. In January 2022, a fire broke out in the intensive care unit of Medanta's Indore hospital. However, there were no reports of any casualties. The hospital's fire alarm system did not appear operational, as the eyewitness stated.
