A senior Madhya Pradesh police officer said that fake degrees were first discovered by Noida-based Kailash Hospital in 2013, along with fake certification courses. "The documents (found at Yadav's Prayagraj home on Friday) indicate that Kailash Hospital and Heart Institute found his degrees in Doctorate of Medicine (DM) and DM in cardiology fake along with the certification courses in 2013. The hospital administration filed a complaint with Noida Sector 20 police station," the officer said requesting anonymity.

Following the discovery, the Union health ministry banned him for five years for misconduct, this officer said.

"If Noida police had investigated the matter, then he wouldn't have been able to continue his fraud. After the case against Narendra Yadav of fraud and cheating, union ministry of health banned him for five years for misconduct," the officer said, adding: "He then changed his name to Dr N John Camm and started a new life."
