HYDERABAD : The west zone task force police raided a fake ayurvedic clinic at Meridian Plaza in Ameerpet on Saturday night and arrested three people working at the centre. Acting on a tip-off, police raided Thulasi Ayurvedic and found that was operating without any valid licence and that unqualified people were dispensing medicines to patients for various ailments like asthma, kidney stones, cancer, fever and other diseases.
On reaching the spot, they arrested Vijay Swamy, an office boy who did not have the necessary credentials to treat patients and prescribe medicines. Cops also arrested Talvar Parshuram and Master Bheema who were employed at the clinic. Further inquiry revealed that the clinic was run by Anand Bagalkot alias Gowtham who wasn’t present at the time of the raid. The police are on the lookout for him. “All the accused are from Karnataka. We have seized all the medicines and other documents from the clinic and handed them over to Punjagutta police station,” a task force official said. A case of cheating has been registered and the district medical and health office has also been notified about the incident. Further probe is on.
