Mangaluru, May 6: A fake doctor has been forced to stop practising after the Karnataka Ayurvedic and Unani practitioners’ board officers raided his clinic.

Ganesh K claimed that he was a doctor and kept number of fake certificates at his clinic to tell the world that he was a genuine doctor.

Karnataka Ayurvedic and Unani practitioners’ board had received a complaint regarding Ganesh K. On February 5, the board asked Ganesh K to furnish documents on his qualifications.

On April 24, Ganesh promptly appeared in front of the board with his bundle of certificates without knowing that they would be verified. After that his practice continued.

On May 2, the officers from the board landed at his clinic and asked him to stop practising as his certificates were found to be not genuine.

The keys of the sealed clinic with seized medicines have been handed over to Mangaluru north police station. The old patients who visited Amritha clinic on K S Rao Road have found it closed. Only enquiries with the neighbouring shops have revealed that their doctor was fake.
