Ghaziabad: A group of four men were arrested for duping Rs 5 lakh rupees from a medical practitioner, one Dr Mahanand in Ghaziabad on Friday.
The perpetrators had disguised themselves to be Health inspectors while executing their plan to trap the doctor for money. The investigation revealed that one of the culprits was an acquaintance of the doctor, who had the knowledge that doctor earned lakhs of rupees after selling his plot in Ghaziabad. He then hatched a plan to dupe the doctor out of his money. As a result, three of his accomplice, pretending to be health department officials barged into the clinic of the doctor and began blackmailing him for money. They threatened doctor for using expired medical drugs
Rakesh Kumar Mishra, Circle Officer, Sahibabad, informed Millennium Post, "The team threatened Mahanand of indulging in false practice and using expired drugs, and threatened to send him to jail if he did not follow their direction. They asked a bribe of Rs 20 lakh from the doctor in order to leave him. However, the doctor paid them Rs 5 lakh," added Mishra. He continued, "Later when he enquired at the district health department, he found that no such officers work with the health department record. He then registered a case in this regard."
