The police have also seized a large quantity of medicines and other medical equipment from this bogus doctor, who is seriously compromising the health of the people. Legal action has been taken against the bogus doctor by the district SOG, reports the Sandesh.

Earlier this year, two quacks were apprehended for operating illegal clinics—one with only a class 10 qualification and another with a homoeopathic degree. During those raids, police recovered medical equipment, drugs, and injections valued at over Rs 32,000.
