In a decisive operation against unqualified medical practitioners, the Surat Police have arrested two individuals posing as doctors and offering medical treatments without any legitimate medical degrees or certifications.

The Fraud Exposed

The arrested individuals, identified as Lalita Kripa Shankar Singh and Prayag Ramchandra Prasad, were running an unauthorized clinic in Surat. Investigations revealed that Singh had completed education only up to Class 10, while Prasad had studied until Class 12. The two were actively prescribing allopathic drugs and treating gullible individuals in spite of their lack of official medical education or degrees.

The Modus Operandi

Operating under the guise of a legitimate clinic, the accused successfully built trust among vulnerable patients who sought affordable healthcare. With fake prescription pads, unregulated medicines, and basic medical equipment, they managed to maintain an illusion of professionalism. Authorities claim that despite a constant stream of patients coming to the clinic every day, the illegal practice has been going on for several months.

Police Action and Investigation

Following a tip-off, the Surat Police conducted a raid on the clinic, uncovering medical supplies, forged documents, and prescription records. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) stated:

"This incident highlights a significant concern. These individuals endangered the lives of innocent people by impersonating certified medical professionals. We strongly encourage the public to stay alert and ensure they seek guidance from accredited healthcare practitioners."

The authorities are currently investigating whether the suspects belong to a broader network of fraudulent physicians and whether additional clinics are operating under similar deceitful practices.

The Dangerous Growth of False Physicians
 

The incidence of unqualified individuals engaging in medical practice is notably on the rise in India, presenting significant threats to public health. Such fraudulent activities not only prey on vulnerable segments of society but also erode confidence in the healthcare system.
 

Public Awareness is Crucial

Authorities have urged citizens to: ✅ Verify the credentials of doctors before treatment. ✅ Check if the clinic displays valid medical licenses. ✅ Report any suspicious activity to local authorities.

Gazing Ahead
 

As the investigation progresses, law enforcement remains devoted to dismantling such fraudulent schemes. This incident acts as a crucial reminder of the necessity of obtaining treatment solely from licensed healthcare professionals.
