The accused has been identified as Devender Gera (55) of Bafna Health Care Private Limited. He is being brought to Odisha on transit remand and would be produced before the Judicial Magistrate First Class (V), Bhubaneswar.
According to police, a private hospital in Bhubaneswar had placed an order with Bafna Health Care Private Limited for fabrication and installation of equipment in seven Tata Winger vehicles for utilising them as ambulances during the pandemic.
