Fake Doctor Arrested in Pune After Operating for Years
Imagine a person pretending to be a real doctor, but they didn't actually go to medical school.
Police in Pune found out about this person, named Pramod, who had been giving people medical advice and treatments for a long time.
They received a complaint and started investigating.
When they checked, they found out Pramod wasn't a registered doctor and only finished middle school.
Because he wasn't qualified, he was arrested.
Even the higher courts said he couldn't get special permission to avoid arrest.
Now, the police are talking to him to find out more about how he treated people and to make sure he doesn't do it again.
A 57-year-old man, Pramod Rajaram Gundu, has been arrested in Pune for allegedly practicing as a doctor without valid qualifications or registration.
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) received a complaint against Gundu in September 2024.
An inquiry revealed that Gundu was not registered with any medical councils and lacked an authorized medical degree.
Gundu's anticipatory bail applications were rejected by both the Pune court and the Bombay High Court.
Police investigations indicate that Gundu is an SSC (Secondary School Certificate) pass and has been providing medical treatment illegally.
