Few months back, a reporter from the daily went to the clinic; where the quack posed as a professional and advised him an injection after investigating the case a little.The condition of the clinic showed that the doctor had been administering medicines to patients in intravenous manner, as IV bottles of fluids and tubes were seen hanging on the wall.

The quack was careful enough to not show his name on his prescription pads, on the display and anywhere in the clinic. His name was only shown at the back of his seat, which was not easily visible to all.

A pharmacist in the near locality stated, "He charged much less so a lot of people preferred him over other qualified doctors in the area."

Several such incidents have been found previously in the state with quacks practicing without fear and endangering lives, Medical Dialogues Team had earlier reported stating that an unfortunate incident took place in Tamil Nadu, where a patient was reported to have died after seeking treatment from a quack in the Tiruvannamalai town.
