Police has arrested a man, Om Pal Sharma, practicing as a doctor since 10 years, after his MBBS degree was found to be fake.
"He had forged the degree of a Rajesh R, a practicing doctor in Bengaluru and had been 'practicing' since 10 years," Saharanpur SP (rural) said.
The accused had registered under Karnataka Medical Council and also worked on contract at a government hospital.
"He had registered his nursing home under Ayushman Bharat Yojana and claims to have conducted 70,000 operations," SP (rural) added.
Further investigation in the matter is underway.
