Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Commissioner’s Task Force East zone team, along with Amberpet police, arrested a 53-year-old man for pretending to be a doctor and treating patients without authorization. The man, Raju Gangaram Ankalap, was found with prescriptions, a stethoscope, a sugar testing machine, and other medical devices.
Raju, a resident of Ramanthapur, had previously been arrested for similar offenses. He had diplomas in yoga, naturopathy, and emergency medical services, but was not a certified doctor. Despite this, he set up a clinic in New Patel Nagar, Amberpet, where he provided allopathic treatment.
The police acted on a tip-off and apprehended Raju, urging the public to be cautious when choosing doctors and to avoid those without valid credentials.
