Locals say he not only runs a clinic with a medical store but also admits patients for treatment. The villagers claimed that whenever someone falls ill, they usually go to him for medical help, reports the Free Press Journal.

However, serious concerns have now come to light. Two people are believed to have died under his care, and another narrowly escaped death last month after being administered a wrong injection. The patient’s condition deteriorated rapidly and had to be rushed to Gwalior, where they were reportedly saved with difficulty.

The health authorities have taken note of the matter. Rajnagar's acting Block Medical Officer (BMO), Awadhesh Chaturvedi, confirmed receiving both complaints and a video from local villagers. Speaking to Free Press Journal, he said strict action will be taken soon. Chhatarpur CMHO Dr. RP Gupta has also promised action in the matter.

As the investigation continues, officials have assured that necessary steps will be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
