One of the examples is Vinayak Health Clinic in Bhandup, where the practitioner is Imran Abdul Khan. &ldquo;While the difference between a clinic&rsquo;s name and a practitioner&rsquo;s name does not by itself establish wrongdoing, the motive is to gain the trust of locals,&rdquo; said a police officer.&nbsp;</p>
