Overview
- Mumbai Crime Branch Unit 6, joined by a BMC M-East ward medical officer, raided two Shivajinagar clinics and seized syringes, injection vials and antibiotic drugs under a panchnama.
- Officers arrested Rajiv Kapildev Ranjan, 34, and Kubernath Gomti Yadav, 56, after finding them examining patients and giving treatment inside the clinics.
- Shivajinagar Police registered two cases under Sections 33 and 36 of the Medical Practitioners Act, sealed both premises, and served notices under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
- Police say neither suspect holds a medical license or Maharashtra Medical Council registration, yet they posed as doctors and charged patients for care.
- Background checks found one had studied up to HSC and the other up to SSC, with one holding a naturopathy credential, and investigators are now reviewing patient complaints, payments and drug supply sources because unqualified use of injectables and antibiotics can cause dosing errors and infections.
