A woman allegedly died due to negligence in treatment at a hospital in Greater Noida run by a fake doctor. According to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Noida) Rajesh S, an FIR has been lodged against the fake doctor, Priya Ranjan Thakur, at the Bisrakh Police Station, and is arrested.

During the investigation, Thakur’s medical certificates were verified. His MBBS degree of 2005 mentioned Bhupendra Narayan University in Madhepura, Bihar, but during verification, the degree was found to be fake, said DCP Rajesh S.

Priya Ranjan Thakur runs the IVF Creation World Centre located in Eco Village 2 in the Bisrakh area. The woman, a resident of Indirapuram in Ghaziabad, had been visiting the hospital for two months for the In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedure, a technology-assisted method for pregnancy.

The officials said the woman fell ill during the IVF treatment on August 19. The woman slipped into a coma due to a lack of emergency support in the centre and had to be admitted to another hospital where she died on August 26.

The 40-year-old fake doctor was booked under the Indian Penal Code sections 338 (endangering human life by negligent acts) and 304 (death due to negligence) for the complaint that has been filed by her husband against the doctor.

The police said another FIR has been lodged against him under IPC sections 420 (cheating), 467, 468 and 471 (all related to forgery) for his medical degree turning out to be fake.

In a similar incident, police arrested a fake doctor and his assistant for cheating and extracting huge amounts of money from needy patients last month in Telangana’s Warangal. Police also seized Rs 1.90 lakh in cash, a laptop, lab equipment, and three cell phones.

Earlier in April, the police arrested a fake doctor couple in Karnataka after a woman dies during IVF treatment.
