![Fake Complaints Galore Under Whistleblower Scheme on Dodgy Drugs Fake Complaints Galore Under Whistleblower Scheme on Dodgy Drugs](https://www.medindia.net/afp/images/Health-cancer-genetics-drugs-42675.jpg)
The ‘whistleblower scheme' was launched on October 14, 2009 by the central government and rewards informers who provide clues to fake drug rackets in hospitals. However the Ministry has now said that most complaints appear to be fake. It also seems the reward of Rs. 5 lakh for one case is tempting the informers. Another factor is that their identity will be kept confidential.
25% of the reward will be given after the chargesheet is framed and 25% will be paid once the court decides the case in favor of the government. The remaining amount will be paid after closure of the case.
