India, April 4 -- An X-ray technician at a community health centre (CHC) in Dadri was removed from duty for allegedly accepting Rs.71,000 in lieu of issuing a forged medical report, officials said on Friday.

In a complaint filed by a local resident and submitted to the health department earlier this week, it was alleged that the technician issued an injury report to an individual who had no visible injuries.
