Five Fake Doctors Booked After Mumbai Crime Branch, BMC Raids
Some people in Mumbai pretended to be doctors even though they did not go to medical school.
Being a real doctor takes many years of study and a special licence.
These people ran five small clinics and gave patients medicines.
That can be very dangerous because they may not know the right way to treat sick people.
The police and city health officers heard about this and checked the clinics.
They found the people pretending to be doctors while treating patients.
The officers took away medicines, syringes, injections, and other doctor tools.
Now the police have filed cases against all five people.
This means they might have to explain what they did in court.
The police are still learning more about what happened.
Mumbai Crime Branch and BMC medical officers raided five clinics in Deonar and Bandra East.
Five men were booked for allegedly practising medicine without a recognised medical degree or valid licence.
The accused ran clinics named Dr Sagir, Gayatri, Ayesha, Patel, and Aftab Khan.
