The quack, identified as Biswanath Behera (62) of Kantipal in Keonjhar district, had administered three livestock injections to a 55-year-old Srikanta Mohanta suffering from back pain on April 16.
The quack gave some tablets to Mohanta and suggested him to consume them twice a day. The quack had charged Rs 470 from the patient for administering an injection meant for animals. Incidentally, the patient had no such adverse effect despite taking the livestock medicine. Due to this, it is also feared that like doctors, medicines and injections were also not fake.
