The action was initiated following a tip-off received by the police regarding an individual allegedly running an unauthorised medical practice in the village. Acting swiftly on the specific information, the SOG team conducted a raid at the location and arrested the accused.

The investigation revealed that the accused was openly administering allopathic medicines and even giving injections to patients after examining them, despite having no valid medical degree or proper qualification.
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.
This is not the first such arrest in Rajkot. 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.
