United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, announced that NIRANJAN MITTAL was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams to 37 months in prison in connection with a years’ long health care fraud and bribery scheme. As part of that scheme, MITTAL, a Brooklyn-based cardiologist, paid physicians for patient referrals. The defendant also fabricated patient records in order to bill for medically unnecessary vascular procedures. In February 2025, MITTAL pled guilty to one count of violating the Anti-Kickback Statute in connection with the scheme.
