Senior professor and AIIMS spokesperson Y.K Gupta said the institute had set up an inquiry committee after media reports about alleged pilferage in the main kitchen.

“Disciplinary proceedings have been initiated. Six employees have been put under suspension and two employees of private agencies have been removed,” Gupta said.

He said the institute has filed a police complaint against the employees.

A TV news channel reported that some canteen staff were involved in selling kitchen material to outsiders instead of giving it to patients.
