Chirag Rajput and Kartik Patel: The Faces Behind the Khyati Scam

“The police may absolve Kartik Patel, but his involvement in this systematic scam cannot be dismissed. Patel’s questionable business practices in the real estate sector are well-known. Despite being aware of Rajput’s dubious background, Patel hired him, likely driven by vested interests,” a source said.
Patel’s motives are under scrutiny. Insiders from the medical and real estate sectors suggest that Patel’s real estate ventures have been struggling, and his foray into healthcare appears to be more about profit than service. Khyati Hospital has been plagued by high staff attrition and heavy reliance on the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) for revenue. This raises questions about Patel’s ignorance of the ongoing scams within his institution. “How could Patel, as the hospital owner, remain unaware of such malpractice?” questioned a senior industry professional.
Rajput, who started his career as a medical representative, rose rapidly to become a director at Khyati Hospital. His lavish lifestyle, including a home in the Rivera Blues scheme in Prahladnagar worth an estimated ₹2.5–₹3 crore, raised suspicions long before his arrest. The medical community was reportedly unsurprised by the scam, having anticipated trouble due to the hospital’s questionable management.
Rajput’s past is also under the microscope. Sources said Rajput had been involved in a ₹1.45 crore financial fraud at Krishna Hospital in Ghuma, now owned by Shalby Hospitals. After his removal from Krishna Hospital for fraud, he failed to retain his position at Saviour Hospital due to similar issues. Later, he joined SAL Hospital but was reportedly asked to leave for financial mismanagement.
Rajput’s expertise in manipulating cardiology marketing and finances was well-known among healthcare professionals. “Khyati Hospital, which should have been doctor-driven, was instead controlled by its marketing team under Rajput’s influence,” noted a source. The scam has not only tarnished Khyati Hospital’s reputation but also cast a shadow on Patel’s leadership and the unchecked practices within the institution. Industry insiders now call for stricter oversight to prevent such incidents.
Khyati Hospital, despite its initial promise, has become a symbol of unethical practices in the healthcare sector. The need for transparency and accountability in hospital management is now more critical than ever. The ongoing investigation is expected to uncover more details about the extent of the fraud and the roles played by key individuals.
Healthcare professionals and industry experts emphasize the importance of stringent regulations and regular audits to ensure patient safety and maintain the integrity of the healthcare system. The Khyati scam serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of prioritizing profit over patient care.
