Illegal clinic run by Quack busted, DCA seize drugs worth Rs 1.60 lakhs
Hyderabad: The Drugs Control Administration (DCA) Telangana recently raided a clinic in Secunderabad, which was operated by a quack falsely claiming to be an MBBS doctor, and seized drugs worth Rs.1.60 lakhs stocked for sale at the clinic.
The quack allegedly ran the clinic by falsely claiming to be a doctor as the officials found doctor stamps with fake registration numbers and prescription books. He was practising medicine without proper qualifications, thereby deceiving the public.
During the raid, officials from the administration found large quantities of medicines stocked at the premises without any drug license. Among the seized items were 44 varieties of medicines, including antibiotics, steroids, analgesics, anti-ulcer drugs, and more. Notably, medicines intended for Indian Railways Supply were also found at the clinic.
