Doc with fake degrees worked through ranks in key hospitals

|April 11, 2025
MBBS doctor Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, 47, who had two post-graduate degrees, both fake, worked in reputed hospitals in seven states including a hospital run by the son of Madhya Pradesh's school education minister Rao Uday Pratap Singh in Narsinghpur, investigations have revealed.

BHOPAL:
The police have confirmed that his two Masters degrees are fake and are now attempting to authenticate his claim of four foreign certificate courses. They have also confirmed that as part of his elaborate fraud, perpetrated over several years, Yadav even invented a wife and children to escape criminal proceedings in a recruitment racket in Hyderabad.
Yadav, who adopted the name of UK-based cardiologist Dr N John Camm, was exposed after the death of seven patients at Mission Hospital in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh in January and February. National Human Rights Commission member Priyank Kanoongo said on social media on April 4 that seven people died in Damoh's Mission Hospital after being treated by a quack, following a complaint by a resident of Damoh, Kishan Patel, and district child welfare committee member, Deepak Tiwari.
Damoh district collector Sudhir Kochar formed a committee of three, based on whose findings the police registered a complaint against Yadav on April 7. "He was held responsible for the death of some patients after angiography and angioplasty," said Shrutkirti Somvanshi, superintendent of police, Damoh.
But by then, Yadav was in the wind. Mission Hospital manager Pushpa Khare told the police last week that Yadav stole an ECG machine from the hospital before disappearing in early February. Khare said Yadav had been appointed on January 1.
The FIR has been registered against him under sections 318 (cheating), 338 (forgery of valuable securities, wills, and other important documents), 336 (forgery, specifically creating or altering documents or electronic records with the intent to deceive or cause harm) and 340(2) (using a forged document or electronic record as genuine) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and under the MP Ayurvedic Council Act. Yadav was arrested from Prayagraj, UP on Monday with the help of a chicken seller.
