<h1>Opposition alleges former health minister looted funds in medical procurement scam; ruling party calls probe a distraction</h1> An opposition party accused the previous city government of looting public funds through a purported health-infrastructure and medical procurement scam after an enforcement agency raided the premises of a former health minister of the city and private contractors as part of a money-laundering probe. The ruling party countered that the raids aim to distract from questions about the prime minister's academic degree and said the case is baseless because the accused was not a minister when hospital construction decisions were made. The enforcement action coincides with a parallel anti-corruption branch inquiry into alleged irregularities in medicine and equipment purchases.
