Further irregularities were uncovered when officials noted that the prescription pads falsely claimed that the doctor was associated with GBP Hospital. The administration confirmed that this claim was completely false and misleading.

Acting on the matter, a joint team comprising the Bishalgarh Sub-Divisional Medical Officer and officials from the Sub-Divisional Magistrate’s office, including the DCM, conducted an administrative raid at the chamber around 4 pm. The inspection revealed that the clinic was found to be operating without mandatory permissions for a long period.

Speaking to Tripura Info, administrative officials stated that although the doctor may have completed his MBBS from Russia, using an MD degree on prescriptions and projecting himself as a specialist doctor without valid recognition from the Tripura Medical Council is illegal and punishable under medical practice regulations.
