Sources from Hyderabad stated that a doctor in Hyderabad has filed a police complaint against a hospital in the city’s Shadnagar area for allegedly using his MBBS certificate to get a license and registration. Meanwhile the doctor, identified as 25 year old Dr Y Chandrakanth Reddy, approached the Kothur police station and filed a complaint against Nakshatra Hospital, after he was informed of the same.
As per the complaint “He worked at Nakshatra Hospital for 25 days in March 2017. At the time, he had submitted a xerox copy of my certificates for getting the job. After he left, the hospital management, led by its Managing Director Sridhar Rao, misused my certificates to get a hospital registration from the District Medical Health Officer (DMHO) in April, without his consent or knowledge".
Meanwhile Vijayender, president of the Telangana Junior Doctors Association (TJUDA), who brought the case to the attention of the media calling it criminal negligence, demanded strict action against the accused. Reportedly TNM attempted to reach out to Nakshatra Hospital but did not get a response and further the police registered a case under Section 420 (Cheating) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against the hospital and said that further investigation was underway.
