It is alleged that the said company MetaMix wrongly made gains to the tunes of crores in the said project.
According to sources, the company was formed recently and it lacked the relevant experience in developing the said artificial intelligence software.
The vigilance minister has also recommended that the agreement between the company and ILBS hospital shall be terminated, and the matter be referred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), they said.
ILBS is run by a governing council which consists of senior IAS officers, professors, doctors and other experts from different fields. The council is constituted by the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi.
On Thursday, the Delhi government had recommended a CBI-ED probe into the chief secretary’s alleged role in the land acquisition scam on Dwarka Expressway.
