Indian Police arrests fake doctor after seven deaths at mission hospital

Published

on

Police in Madhya Pradesh has on Tuesday April 8, 2025, arrested a man for impersonating a renowned British cardiologist at a private hospital.

The suspect, who used the name “Narendra John Camm,” performed surgeries at Mission Hospital in central India.

He carried out angioplasty procedures that led to the deaths of seven patients earlier in 2025.

Families of the victims raised concerns, prompting a police investigation into the hospital’s activities.

Police examined his documents and confirmed they were completely forged.

“Our team arrested him after verifying his medical credentials were fake,” said Superintendent Shrutkirti Somvanshi.

He has been charged with cheating and forgery under Indian penal laws.

The fake doctor used the identity of Professor John Camm, a respected cardiologist from St George’s University, London.

Local media released his mugshot, showing bleached yellow hair and a stethoscope around his neck.

Professor Camm condemned the impersonation and called the situation “very disconcerting.”

He said the man falsely claimed both to be him and to have trained under him.

Professor Camm and his colleagues tried for years to expose the impersonator online and through official channels.

Indian cardiologists also worked to reveal the truth and disconnect the fraudster from the medical community.

Despite these efforts, the suspect continued practicing and performing dangerous procedures at the hospital.

The National Human Rights Commission opened an inquiry after receiving complaints from victims’ families.

Madhya Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister, Rajendra Shukla, promised strict action if the court finds the man guilty.

This incident has reignited fears about fake doctors operating in under-regulated areas of rural India.

Authorities have increased raids and arrests in recent years but say the problem still exists.

Officials have started reviewing the hospital’s hiring processes and may make more arrests soon.
