The accused, identified as Mir Hussain Ahmed Barbhuiya from Ganirgram Part II, was working as a fake gynaecologist in the hospital’s outpatient department. Officials said he had been treating patients since August 29.
SMCH principal Dr. Bhaskar Gupta told The Assam Tribune that Barbhuiya’s presence in the gynaecology department raised doubts among staff. After suspicion grew, the hospital authorities informed the police. Soon after, he was taken into custody.
Cachar Senior Superintendent of Police Numal Mahatta said Barbhuiya even bought a stethoscope online to make himself look like a real doctor. He added that police are taking the matter seriously and strict action will be taken, as directed by the Chief Minister and the state DGP.
This is not the first such incident in Silchar. Just last month, another fake doctor was caught at Shiv Sundari Nari Shikshasram. The rise in such cases has worried Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who urged the public to remain alert and report anyone pretending to be a doctor.
