Mumbai Police Crime Branch Units 6 and 8, along with Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) medical officers, cracked down on five alleged bogus doctors operating in parts of the city, arresting five accused persons. Four clinics were located in the Zakir Hussain Nagar-Deonar area, while another was in Naupada-Bandra East.

Police said the “so-called doctors” were found examining patients and providing treatment despite lacking the required medical qualifications and licences. They were also not registered with the Maharashtra Medical Council, said police.
