Siddha assn president held for issuing fake Siddha certificates
Cuddalore : All-India Siddha Medical Officers' Association’s TN president Subbaiah Pandian was arrested by Cuddalore CBCID sleuths on Monday on charges of issuing fake certificates to people, authorising them to practise Siddha medicine. The fake certificate racket was busted after passers-by found several certificates dumped at a canal near Chidambaram and alerted police and Annamalai university officials.
The university authorities, upon verification, found that they were fake. Police managed to trace and arrest three people involved in preparing fake certificates. The arrested were identified as Sankar, Krishnamoorthy, and Nagappan. The case was later transferred to CBCID. Police said the accused admitted to procuring fake certificates through Subbaiah Pandian to practise Siddha medicine after paying him money ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹5 lakh.
A CBCID team searched Pandian’s house and seized more than a dozen fake certificates. They brought him to Cuddalore for detailed inquiries.
