Siliguri: The police from the North Bengal Medical Outpost have apprehended three individuals involved in an illegal broker racket at the North Bengal Medical College and Hospital (NBMCH).

The arrested have been identified as Sanjay Das, Vikas Roy, and Sujit Roy.

Reports indicate that the racket had been operating for an extended period, targeting families of patients seeking medical care. The brokers allegedly promised hospital beds and superior treatment in exchange for money.
