New Delhi: In a shocking revelation, a man performing duties as a junior resident at Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital (LNJP) was found to have been paid by a junior resident doctor to work on his behalf. The accused fake doctor has been arrested by the Delhi Police on Thursday.
The man allegedly hired by the doctor has been identified as Rashid Khan. He was reportedly attending patients in the Covid-19 facility since the hospital has been converted to attend to covid patients earlier this year. The accused doctor who hired Khan was allegedly paying a "salary" of Rs 2,000 per day to the fake doctor.
As per various media accounts, Khan had worked at a hospital earlier and knew the basics of handling patients. He had been asked by the doctor to fill in for him at the hospital and the latter wore a mask to hide his face, said the police. He also used to don a white coat and a stethoscope to avoid suspicion and worked during the doctor's shifts and kept his attendance updated.
