A fake Ayurvedic treatment racket was busted on Saturday when Mumbai Crime Branch officers arrested two doctors and six others for duping people of lakhs of rupees for fake treatment in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai. They were held on a complaint filed by a retired assistant police sub inspector. Three of the accused are at large.

The group used to identify targets outside hospitals and then offer them treatment. The cops have also sealed their Thane dispensary, where they kept fake Ayuvedic medicines, including various kinds of ash and oils.
