A second FIR was lodged at the Old Industrial police station under similar sections of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, the National Medical Commission Act, and the BNS.

Speaking to Hindustan Times, Panipat deputy chief medical officer Subash Galawat stated in his complaint that Devender presented certificates claiming a BEMS (Bachelor of Electropathy Medicine Surgery) degree and registration with the Electronomopathy Medical Council, Panchkula.

However, the team determined that these certificates are not recognized by the National Medical Commission or any legally authorized medical body. The FIR notes that the legitimacy of the council issuing these certificates needs verification by appropriate regulatory authorities.

Both individuals are now under investigation for unauthorized medical practice, which could pose serious health risks to unsuspecting patients.
