In June 2022, Dr. Tanyu reportedly made advance payments of Rs 520 million to various companies for medical equipment. However, an investigation has revealed that no machinery was delivered or found within the hospital. Financial irregularities have been uncovered, and the Sindh Health Department has collected records of contracts, purchases, and expenses from 2021 to 2023. Despite this ongoing investigation, Dr. Tanyu continues to serve as the Assistant Medical Superintendent.
