In a significant operation, the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Patan police has arrested a fake doctor in the village of Adiya, located in the Harij taluka of Patan district, Gujarat. The accused, Shailesh Acharya, was found to be practicing medicine without any medical degree or license. This illegal act poses a major risk to the health and safety of the local population.
The police acted on a tip-off received under the guidance of Police Superintendent V.K. Nathani and SOG Inspector J.G. Solanki. During the investigation, it was discovered that Acharya was providing medical services to sick individuals in Patelwas area, dispensing medications and injections without any formal training.
Authorities seized medical equipment, injections, and medicines from Acharya, amounting to a total value of ₹4,439. The police have filed a case against him under sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Medical Practitioners Act for his unlawful activities.
Such illegal medical practices are not only dangerous but also undermine the trust in legitimate healthcare providers. The police have stated that strict actions will be taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The Harij police station is continuing the investigation to uncover any additional information related to this case.
In another alarming incident in Patan, police have arrested three individuals, including a fake doctor, in a child trafficking case. This group is accused of selling a newborn, which has raised serious concerns about the safety of children in the area. The arrested individuals include Suresh Thakor, a fake doctor, nurse Shilpa Thakor, and compounder Roop Singh Thakor. They were apprehended after a newborn baby was rescued from their possession.
According to police reports, the newborn was sold for ₹1.20 lakh. However, when the child fell ill, the buyers returned the baby, leading to its abandonment on a highway. Thankfully, local residents found the child and alerted the authorities. This led to the arrest of the three suspects and a deeper investigation into their activities.
During the investigation, the prime accused, Suresh Thakor, revealed that they had buried another child on the banks of the Banas river. A search operation was conducted, but no remains were found. The police have emphasized the need for thorough investigations to ensure the safety of children and prevent such heinous crimes.
Both cases highlight the urgent need for public awareness regarding illegal medical practices and child trafficking. Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious activities to the police and to ensure that they seek medical assistance only from qualified professionals.
The police department is committed to safeguarding public health and ensuring justice for victims of crime. Continuous efforts will be made to track down those involved in such criminal activities and to maintain a safe environment for the community.
