BHOPAL/SAGAR: Madhya Pradesh Police on Monday arrested a man who is accused of forging his medical degrees operating on patients in a hospital in Damoh district, allegedly leading to the deaths of at least seven people.

The arrest came on a day the police filed a first information report against the man—identified by the police as Narendra John Camm—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.

Damoh superintendent of police Shrutkirti Somvanshi confirmed the arrest from Prayagraj. "After the registration of the FIR, our cyber team got active as this doctor, who is known as Narendra Yadav or Narendra John Camm, had a habit of running away from one place to another. We got input from cyber team and Damoh police nabbed him from Drona Omaxe township in Prayagraj and he is now being brought to Damoh," said the SP.
