The man, police said on Wednesday, posed as a super-specialist without the required qualifications. The main accused, aged between 45 and 50, falsely claimed to be a Diplomate of National Board (DNB) in Cardiology and used the name and credentials of Dr Pankaj Mohan, a real cardiologist who eventually alerted the Indian Medical Association.
