Quack practising for 40 years arrested in Guwahati

However, concerns were raised about the accused illicit actions when residents and local doctors discovered spelling mistakes and technical errors in documents that had his signature, leading to doubt about his qualifications.  

These illicit actions prompted a city-based doctor, Abhijit Neog who has aided in the exposure of 32 alleged "fraudulent" doctors including the accused since 2016 to investigate further the matter leading to the arrest of the accused. 

During the investigation of the case, the police discovered that the accused acquired a diploma from the Guwahati-based School of General Medical Practice in 1977, an institution not recognised by any statutory body. Moreover, he failed to produce a Diploma in Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGO) as mentioned on his letterhead at the pharmacy.

As per The Telegraph news report, the accused deceived the patients and his family members who had known him all along as a doctor.

Subsequently, a case was registered against the quack based on Neog's complaint. The accused was remanded to 14 days in judicial custody on Wednesday after Neog submitted significant evidence at the Guwahati court.

Meanwhile, the police have sealed the pharmacy and an investigation is underway to identify any further illegal medical activities performed by the accused.
