Mumbai Crime Branch Books 5 Fake Doctors in Deonar and Bandra East Raids
The Mumbai Crime Branch has taken action against five individuals allegedly practising medicine without recognised medical degrees or valid licences, following raids conducted in Zakir Hussain Nagar, Deonar, and Naupada-Bandra East.
Acting on credible information regarding unqualified practitioners treating patients and charging heavy fees, teams from Crime Branch Units 6 and 8 joined medical officers from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to raid five local clinics.
During the operations, the teams found the accused examining patients and administering treatments. The individuals have been identified as Sagir Ahmed Abdul Majid Hashmi, 39, of Dr Sagir Clinic; Akhilesh Kumar Devendra Kumar Dubey, 47, of Gayatri Clinic; Mehmud Alam Mohammad Sharif Sheikh, 36, of Ayesha Clinic; Keshav Prasad Kuddur Patel, 56, of Patel Clinic; and Mohammad Aftab Shaukim Khan, 56, of Aftab Khan Clinic.
Police said none of the accused held a valid medical licence or registration with the Maharashtra Medical Council. They had allegedly posed as qualified doctors to treat patients suffering from various medical conditions.
Officials seized medical equipment and medicines, including injections, bottles, syringes, and antibiotic tablets, valued at approximately Rs 1,19,324.
Cases have been registered against all five accused at the Deonar Police Station and the Nirmal Nagar Police Station. Further investigation remains underway.
