Guwahati: Following a complaint filed by the Anti-Quackery & Vigilance Cell, a man posing as a quack was arrested by Sonai Police on Friday night in Assam's Cachar district. The accused had allegedly been practising medicine without valid credentials for nearly six to seven years.
According to news reports, the fake doctor has been allegedly treating patients at Arfaz Medical Hall, located on Motinagar Road in Sonai, Rangirghat Pt-1. He claimed to hold a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) degree from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and used a printed prescription pad carrying the registration number BA/5301-1 (AMC) to lend credibility to his fraudulent practice.
