Caught on camera: Quack impersonates medical intern at PGIMS Rohtak
Rohtak: In a disturbing incident that has raised serious concerns about patient safety, a young man holding only a diploma in patient care assistance was caught treating patients at the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) in Rohtak, pretending to be his friend, who is a medical intern at the hospital.
He was seen roaming around the OPD ward and even the trauma centre, wearing a white coat with a stethoscope around his neck, and attending to patients. His behaviour and way of speaking raised suspicion among the security guards. When he was asked for his ID card, he was unable to show it.

After confirming that he was not a doctor, the guards took him out of the premises after taking the stethoscope from him. A video of him treating patients and getting escorted outside the hospital by the security has gone viral on social media.
As per the HT media report, the accused has been identified as Sahad from Nizampur Majra village in Sonepat. Sahad was impersonating his friend Krishan Gehlawat, who is currently doing a one-year internship at PGIMS after completing his MBBS from the United Kingdom.
