Jetpur: In a major crackdown, the Rajkot Rural Special Operation Group (SOG) arrested a man in Jetpur, Rajkot district, for allegedly treating patients without a valid medical degree. Acting on a tip-off, the SOG conducted a surprise raid on a dispensary in the area, where the accused was reportedly practising allopathic medicine.   

According to the news reports, the accused had allegedly been treating patients using allopathic methods despite having no medical qualifications or registration. Authorities said the raid was conducted after receiving information that he was endangering lives.
