An Ontario doctor who was recently ordered to pay the CBC more than $1.6 million in legal costs after losing a libel lawsuit against the public broadcaster has now been charged with defrauding the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. The OPP has issued an arrest warrant for Dr. Ranjit Kumar Chandra, 78, of Etobicoke. He’s charged with fraud over $5,000 and is believed to be out of the country. The Health Fraud Investigation Unit at the OPP is continuing to investigate as they are unable to provide an exact amount in the fraud loss to OHIP at the time. Police confirmed he is the same Ranjit Chandra involved in the CBC lawsuit.
