The patient died during treatment which was allegedly found to be faulty, the official from Bhoiwada police station said.
The police conducted a probe into the matter and based on a complaint by the Bhiwandi Nizampur Municipal Corporation's medical officer, an offence was registered against the two doctors, aged 40 and 46, under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Medical Practitioners Act, he said.
The two accused were arrested on Monday, the official said.
The accused did not have a proper medical degree and had not registered themselves with the Maharashtra Medical Council, the police said.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that in what can be described as a case of justice delayed but not denied, the medical regulator of the capital, the Delhi Medical council had finally got permission from the Delhi High Court to initiate action against a quack who was first identified by the council as running a clinic back in 2011.
The Delhi High Court had allowed an appeal filed by the Delhi Medical Council (DMC) to take against a 10th pass man running an allopathy clinic in Bawana without requisite qualification and endangering the life of innocent citizens.
