Quack held for third time in 4 years
Chennai:09.11.2019
Police have arrested a quack for the third time in four years at Siva Kanchi in Kancheepuram.
Thirumalai, 40, of Periya Kancheepuram had been operating his ‘clinic’ a few streets from his house for more than six years. Even after his arrest in 2016 and 2018, Thirumalai, who was allegedly proficient in siddha and acupuncture, continued to practise allopathy, said a police officer.
He had been operating his new clinic a few streets from his previous facility after coming out of prison, police said. Residents alerted qualified doctors in the area, who tipped off the joint director of medical services in Kancheepuram.
On Friday, a team of doctors along with senior officials and police personnel from the Siva Kanchi police station carried out a search at his clinic and found allopathic medicines which he was prescribing to patients.
Based on a complaint, the Siva Kanchi police registered a case under Section 15 and 15 (3)
(a) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. They arrested and remanded Thirumalai in prison after producing him before a magistrate’s court on Friday.
Thirumalai was arrested twice in 2018 and jailed. TNN
