Tiwari has been associated with Kothari Medical Centre for over 20 years as a Gastroenterologist, he said.
"Tiwari in reality is a BCom graduate. We have all the documents against him. It seems that Tiwari is part of the racket that is active in this business," the officer said.
The doctor, who was charging patients Rs 300 as consultation fees, would be produced at a court tomorrow, he said.
Six IPC sections including punishment for cheating by personation, cheating, forgery of valuable security, forgery for the purpose of cheating, using as genuine a forged document and punishment of criminal conspiracy have been slapped against Tiwari and those arrested as fake doctors.
