Quack arrested for running clinic in Ahmedabad
Doctor arrested
Ahmedabad: The Special Operations Group (SOG) of Ahmedabad Rural Police has arrested a man posing as an allopathic doctor in the Dholeshwarnagar area near Changodar Post Office. The accused was found operating a full-fledged medical practice without holding any recognised medical degree.
According to the news reports, the accused, identified as a native of Mandalhar village in West Bengal’s Nadia district had been illegally practising modern medicine from Shakti Avenue, Moraiya village, located off Changodar-Tajpur Road. Despite lacking any formal medical degree or registration with the Gujarat Medical Council, Ghosh continued to offer medical consultations and treatment to unsuspecting patients.
The Changodar Police have registered a case under the Gujarat Medical Practitioners Act, 1963.

This is not Ghosh’s first brush with the law. He was previously booked in 2023 under the same Act for similar offences. Authorities suspect he may have been running the illegal practice for an extended period, posing a serious threat to public health.
The hospital, run by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), has been the site for 65 human clinical trials since 2021. A five-member probe panel set up by AMC has now submitted its final report, confirming large-scale irregularities and misuse of funds received from pharmaceutical companies and research firms.
