Two homoeopathy doctors are likely to face legal action for misleading the public stating they had preventive medicine for Covid-19. The two deployed a man at Uzhavar Shandy in Hasthampatty area on Saturday to distribute pamphlets to the public. When TOI tried to talk to him, he fled. The pamphlet had contact details of Dr P Elango and Dr E Indrakumar, who were practice at a clinic on Gandhi Road. TOI alerted deputy director of health services Dr J Nirmalson, who tried to reach the two on their mobile phones. “No one picked up the calls. They managed to escape and the clinic was found closed when our team went there,” Nirmalson said. He has lodged a complaint with the Hasthampatty police, seeking action against the errant homoeopathic consultants for trying to cheat people.
