3 quacks posing as Ayurvedic doctors held for duping patients with homemade piles medicine
Fake Doctors Caught in Telangana
Hyderabad: In its continuous efforts to eradicate fraudulent medical professionals in the state, the Telangana Medical Council (TGMC), in collaboration with the Indian Medical Association (IMA), recently identified and caught three men posing as Ayurvedic doctors.
These three quacks were caught during a sting operation conducted by TGMC and IMA. The council and the association found that these doctors were treating patients by posing as Ayurvedic doctors and prescribing self-made ointments for piles treatment.
By selling homemade ointments made from flour and salt, the fake doctors charged between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000 for their services. These bogus treatments reportedly worsened conditions in many patients.

All of them hailed from Kolkata.
