SHRC orders criminal proceedings against fake doctor

Thiruvananthapuram:  The state human rights commission (SHRC) chairperson Justice Alexander Thomas has ordered the Medical Council Registrar to initiate criminal proceedings under the Kerala Medical Practitioners Act 2021 against a person accused of practising as a doctor without a medical degree.

The commission asked the registrar why the 2021 order to take legal action against the individual named Robin Gurusingh under Sections 42 and 43 of the Act was not followed and sought an explanation from the registrar within a month. SHRC also demanded the launch of criminal proceedings against the accused under Sections 40, 41, 42, and 43 of the Act.

A complaint filed by one A Sreekumar stated that a ‘fake doctor’, based in Karinkal in Tamil Nadu, had put up an advertisement board at Chackai in the state capital. Following the SHRC directive, the Medical Council found that the individual was not registered with them in Kerala or Tamil Nadu. The registrar informed SHRC that the advertisement board was removed based on instructions given to the district police chief to take legal action against the individual. However, the complainant noted that the fake doctor continued to engage in the fraud and later gave an advertisement in an English daily as a spine specialist.
