Guwahati Doctor Arrested for Medical Equipment Fraud
Doctor Arrested
Guwahati: A 32-year-old doctor was arrested by Dispur Police for allegedly masterminding a widespread fraud involving forged government work orders for medical equipment, duping several individuals and businesses out of lakhs of rupees.
The accused, a resident of Bishnunagar on VIP Road in Guwahati, had been on the run since August 2023. Despite holding medical credentials, he allegedly exploited his professional background to create an elaborate ruse, producing fake government documents that promised lucrative supply contracts for medical goods.
The case came to light when Md. Samim Ali, a resident of FA Ahmed Nagar in Guwahati, filed an FIR alleging that the doctor promised a lucrative government supply contract and collected Rs 4 lakh under false pretences. Further investigation revealed that the doctor used similar schemes to defraud multiple individuals, channelling the ill-gotten funds through his wife’s bank account.
