According to the police, the fake doc was nabbed after he treated a patient, who was a decoy sent by the police to his clinic

Mumbai police crime branch arrested Altaf Khan, 50, from Govandi for practising as a doctor without having any qualifications
The Mumbai crime branch unit 6 nabbed a quack who had been practising as a doctor in Govandi for the past six years. The bogus doctor was apprehended through a trap. The man, cops cited, could not furnish any evidence to prove he was a doctor.
According to the police, the fake doc was nabbed after he treated a patient, who was a decoy sent by the police to his clinic. He even prescribed medicines. The police raided his clinic and demanded to see his credentials; however, he couldn’t provide any documents. He was not registered with the medical council as Std XII was his highest education qualification! This is shocking to say the least and taking into consideration that this charlatan practised for nearly six years, one can only feel for the people treated by him.
