Quack performs fake knee surgery, dupes elderly woman of Rs 7.20 lakh
Mumbai: In a shocking case of medical fraud reported from the city, a fake doctor and his associate have been arrested for allegedly conducting a fake knee surgery on an elderly woman at her home three years ago. They are accused of deceiving her and charging a hefty fee of Rs 7.20 lakh for the fraudulent procedure.
The incident, which allegedly took place in October 2021, came to light when the victim’s family recently read about similar fraudulent cases in a news report in August this year in which several other elderly citizens in the western suburbs became targets of the fraud carried out by the duo.
