Ayurvedic practitioner poses as doc, arrested
Chennai : Police on Sunday arrested an ayurvedic practitioner who posed as an MBBS doctor and prescribed allopathic medicines to patients. Health department officials received a tip-off about an illegal clinic in Krishna Nagar 1st street, Ponniammanmedu, after which a team checked the ‘doctor’s’ credentials and found them to be fake. Police said the accused, Manimaran, was a Class VIII dropout.
He was trained in ayurveda but prescribed allopathic medicines, posing as an MBBS doctor. Health department officials sealed the clinic and filed a complaint with Madhavaram police station three days ago. Learning that police were onto him, Manimaran hid at a friend’s house in Poonamallee, from where he was arrested on Sunday. He was produced before a magistrate and remanded in judicial custody.tnn
