'OPERATION SAI BABA'
- RTI EXPOSES SHIRDI TRUST'S IRREGULARITIES -
06th April`2012
RTI Activist Sanjay Kale is well known for bringing forth several irregularities of the Shirdi Saibaba Sansthan Trust.
He had earlier got out in open the Travel Bills reimbursement Scam of the former Trustees.
In 2012, he pursued the RTI act further and brought forward several other irregularities of the former Shirdi Trust,
which adds up to Crores of rupees as losses for the Sansthan.
These irregularities range from the Prasad Ladoos to VIP Stays at the Sansthan's Guest houses,
Melting Gold to Property to Road construction to even children's school benches.
The report said, there were irregularities in the sale of the famous Ladoo Prasadam,
which were earlier sold by shops owned by the Shirdi Trust but now it's contract was given
away to a contractor who in turn started selling other items in the guise of selling Ladoos.
Another irregularity in Shirdi's Shri Sai Baba Hospital was revealed that the doctors who were working in this hospital
for a salary of Rs.35,000 were being given incentives to the tune of Rs.50 Lakh, Rs.60 Lakh and also Rs.95 Lakh.
Ignoring poor patients, preference was being given to the patients who had power and influence
and had connections with the Shirdi Sansthan Trustees and politicians.
So, the BJP`Shirdi President Mr.Rajendra Gondkar & Mr.Sandip Kulkarni`a social activist,
filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against the Shirdi Sai Baba Trust
and as a result on 30th May`2012, the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court
ordered the disbanding of the Shirdi Sai Baba Trust, second time after its 13th March`2012 verdict,
dissolving the 7 year-old body comprising 15 trustees for not complying with the constitution of the Trust
which entails that the term of the body cannot be more than 3 years.
The Shirdi Trust affairs are now looked after by the Ahmed Nagar district Collector
under the district judge and the executive officer of the Sai Trust.

- Activists question Shirdi Doctors 30 Heart procedures a Day claim -
20th June`2013
Two doctors posted at the Shirdi Sai Baba Trust have been working round-the-clock, if figures on the number
of operations provided by them at the Shri Saibaba Super Specialty Hospital are anything to go by.
And,their work has earned them handsome incentives, averaging nearly Rs.1.5 lakh a day.
The 2 doctors were given Rs.4.43 crore collectively as incentives in 2012-13,
to perform operations at the Shri Saibaba Super Specialty Hospital.
Activist Sanjay Kale,who accessed this information through RTI, has asked the hospital
to take a re-look at its incentive policy. Kale has also shot off a letter to the CM and Chief Secretary,
demanding a check on the manner in which money is misused by the Shirdi Trust.
According to the RTI reply, the hospital hired 2 Cardiologists who attend the OPD for 3 days
and conduct operations on 3 other days of the week in the super-specialty Cathlab.
One Cardiologist conducted 4,709 operations, heart procedures (Angioplasty, Balloon Mitral Valvotomy)
in 156 days, while the others count in the same year stood at 4,520 operations.
On an average, in 2012-13 only, the former Cardiologist performed
17 Angiography and 13 Angioplasty procedures each day, apart from other smaller ones.
Incidentally,the 55th annual report of AIIMS`Delhi, states that in 2010-2011
the Cardiology and CVTS (the heart surgery branch) together performed 3,976 procedures and surgeries.
This figure is not unbelievable, but rare to achieve. And if doctors are charging so much money as incentives,
it means they are not working for poor patients, said Dr Anant Phadke,a health activist from Pune.
Mr. Kishore More, Executive officer of the Saibaba Sansthan Trust has said that he will
check the figures of daily operations and the incentives given for it and that the Cardiologist
hired was a very renowned doctor & his patients had got excellent treatment.
When asked whether the Saibaba Hospital was meant for poor patients, he said,
of course and that their rates were 30-35 % lower than the private hospitals.
