AUGUSTA — A former mental health worker at Riverview Psychiatric Center is accused of defrauding the state of more than $10,000 in payments after he allegedly falsely reported he was injured by a patient there.

Ahmad Khansari Nejad, 61, of Lewiston, was indicted Thursday by a grand jury in Kennebec County on one charge of theft by deception.

It was one of a number of indictments handed up by the same grand jury.

An indictment is not a determination of guilt, but it indicates that there is enough evidence to proceed with formal charges and a trial.

The indictment against Nejad says that he fraudulently received money and payments for medical services Jan. 5-April 5, 2018, by giving the false impression that “he was attacked and pushed violently to the floor by the patient” and was seriously injured and unable to work.

It was not clear whether Nejad has an attorney in the case.

Here is a list of others indicted Thursday:
