False threat calls case: Ghaziabad Doctor booked for lodging complaint to gain publicity
"No threat regarding beheading was given to the doctor," Superintendent of Police (first) Nipun Agarwal said, adding, Vats has been booked under Section 182 (false information with intent to cause public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another person) of the Indian Penal Code.
Ghaziabad: Days after the Ghaziabad doctor alleged he received threat calls on WhatsApp from a US-based number, warning him not to support Hindu outfits or else he will be beheaded, was found to be fake and that he made the allegations just to gain publicity, the police said.
Accused physician Dr Arvind Vats Akela is absconding, police said, adding they raided his house and clinic.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported about this incident where a physician in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad had allegedly received three threat calls on WhatsApp from a US-based number, warning him not to support Hindu outfits or else he will be beheaded.
Vats allegedly lied to the police that he received the first call on the night of September 1, the second call the next day and the third call on September 7.
However, during the inquiry, police found that the calls were made to him by one of his patients from Malviya Nagar in Delhi just to share his medical condition and that the caller did not give any threat.
Patient Aneesh Kumar (23) was suffering from asthma and a friend had introduced him to Vats.
On September 2, Kumar had called up the doctor for the first time and had also shared pictures of his swollen legs on WhatsApp.
"No threat regarding beheading was given to the doctor," Superintendent of Police (first) Nipun Agarwal said, adding, Vats has been booked under Section 182 (false information with intent to cause public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another person) of the Indian Penal Code.
The SP said Vats will be traced and arrested soon.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that a doctor associated with a Government Medical College & Hospital (GMC&H) had lost Rs 1.75 lakh after a woman allegedly threatened to make his 'obscene' videos viral on social media.
