According to sources, during the search, CBI unearthed assets worth Rs 20 crore belonging to DGM Dr Bijoy Shaw. Seven houses and flats of Dr Shaw, suspected to have been amassed through corruption, were detected in Guwahati during the raid.

Sources said, Dr Shaw in collusion with Dr Eashitva Tamuly, contractual medical officer, occupational health, ONGC, Jorhat and Jadumoni Hazarika, proprietor of M/S Kiran Physiotherapy Clinic, Cinamara, Jorhat fraudulently generated requisition slip for physiotherapy treatment without the knowledge of retired beneficiaries of ONGC, health facilities and their dependents.

Dr Shaw and Dr Tamuly issued requisition slips in the name of ONGC beneficiaries and dependents for a similar type of physiotherapy treatment for 14 days with two sitting on each day resulting in a fraudulent payment of Rs 19, 15,080 to M/S Kiran physiotherapy clinic by ONGC.
Requisition slips for physiotherapy treatment were even issued in the name of beneficiaries who had expired.
