Locals say he not only runs a clinic with a medical store but also admits patients for treatment. The villagers claimed that whenever someone falls ill, they usually go to him for medical help, reports the Free Press Journal.

However, serious concerns have now come to light. Two people are believed to have died under his care, and another narrowly escaped death last month after being administered a wrong injection. The patient’s condition deteriorated rapidly and had to be rushed to Gwalior, where they were reportedly saved with difficulty.
