Acting on complaints, the Kolkata Police’s Anti-Rowdy Section (ARS) raided the hospital in the morning and nabbed them, a police officer said.

”These touts were active at the SSKM Hospital for quite some time. They have duped several patients and their families in the name of getting them admission to the hospital. We had received several complaints regarding these three touts,” he said. The three accused are residents of the nearby Bhowanipore area, he added.

A case has been filed under relevant sections of the IPC, including cheating and criminal conspiracy, the officer said.
