41 quacks exposed in Khammam, Telangana Medical Council files complaints
Hyderabad: In its ongoing efforts to weed out unregistered medical practitioners in the state, the Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) has identified 41 fake doctors in Khammam during an inspection and filed complaints against them accordingly.
The action was taken after the council found these quacks practising illegally without the necessary medical qualifications, and prescribing medications to those who sought their services. These quacks claiming to be Registered Medical Practitioners (RMPs) misled the people by risking their health.

Following the inspection, the council filed a complaint against the 41 quacks and cases have been registered by the police under sections of the National Medical Council Act and Telangana Medical Practitioners Registration Act, 1968.
In this regard, TGMC vice chairman Dr Gundagani Srinivas told TOI, "According to the NMC Act, no one should prescribe allopathic medicines without registration with the Council. "These individuals are treating beyond their qualifications, catering to the needs of innocent people, and playing havoc with public health."
