Hyderabad Police Bust Illegal Medical Practice in Warasiguda
In a shocking incident, the Hyderabad police arrested a 42-year-old man for allegedly posing as a doctor and illegally treating patients without possessing any recognised medical qualifications in the Warasiguda area of the city.
According to reports, the accused is a native of Bhupalpally district and had studied only up to the Intermediate level. Police officials revealed that he did not hold any valid medical, clinical, or pharmacy certification but was allegedly operating an unauthorised clinic for nearly a year.

Investigators stated that the accused had been running an illegal clinic under the name “Madhava Medical Shop” and allegedly treating patients without legal permission. He is also accused of misusing the drug licence of an acquaintance to operate the establishment.
The incident came to light after the police received credible information regarding suspicious medical activities at the premises.
Police Conduct Decoy Operation, Catch Accused Red-Handed
To verify the allegations, Hyderabad police carried out a decoy operation. A head constable in plain clothes reportedly visited the clinic pretending to be a patient.
During the operation, police raided the premises while the accused was allegedly attempting to administer an injection to the undercover officer. Authorities said he was caught red-handed during the act.
Illegal Use of Diclofenac and TT Injections Revealed

The incident has sparked serious concerns over patient safety, as several people may have unknowingly received treatment from the fake doctor over the past year. Authorities are also attempting to identify patients who may have suffered health complications due to unauthorised treatment and improper administration of medicines and injections.
