Pune: A man without any qualification in medicine who was illegally operating a treatment center in Warje has been arrested by the local police. The accused, Bibhuti Vimal Bagchi (43), was running a center for the treatment of piles in the Anand Hospital area of Warje without proper qualifications or authorization. The arrest came after a complaint was filed by Dr. Aruna Tarde, a medical officer with the Pune Municipal Corporation, at the Warje Police Station. Bagchi has been charged under the Maharashtra Medical Profession Act and for fraud.
Despite lacking a medical degree and a license to practice, Bagchi had been treating patients at his center. Authorities were alerted by the municipal corporation’s health department, leading to a police investigation. Although a case has been registered, Bagchi is yet to be taken into custody. This case follows a similar incident in July, where Prakash Ranganath Torne, who had been running the Janseva Clinic in Loni Kalbhor without a medical degree, was arrested.
