Partha Protim Das, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Cachar district, said that the district police has intensified its action against fake doctors, and, acting on a reliable input, police on Monday arrested a person from Nagdirgram Part-4 village.
"He was running an illegal clinic, under the Sonai police station area. Necessary documents have been seized lawfully and lawful action has been initiated," the police official said, reports ANI.

Further investigation into the matter is ongoing, he said.
Previously, another person was arrested for posing as a doctor during an investigation at the Silchar police station. Further investigation revealed that sufficient incriminating material was found against the person who was found to be running an unrecognised institution which issued fake medical degrees and certificates.
A senior police official stated that the man was accused of running a nexus of fake colleges, fake degrees and giving certificates to persons who were practising among the public as doctors. "These certificates have no legal recognition under any Act.
The main accused of this case (a quack) was awarded certificates by the said institute, apart from other quack doctors as well, enabling them to practice illegally. The institution lacked approval from the National Medical Council (NMC) and other competent authorities."
The man was accused of misusing his medical profession to operate this illicit syndicate, the official said. "This syndicate reportedly involves numerous unqualified individuals who are masquerading as doctors or health workers, thereby compromising public safety and trust. The accused is suspected of orchestrating this scheme primarily for personal financial gain.
Das started playing with public health for his gains. He is the mastermind of this organised crime. His activities have seriously undermined public confidence in the medical system and posed grave risks to community health," a senior police official said.
The accused was subsequently arrested and taken into police remand for further investigation.
