Delhi Medical Council Chairman Dr Anil Bansal has sought police protection after an anonymous caller informed him of an impending protest by fake doctors outside his home

Quacks are a serious health hazard in the Capital. With the aim to put them out of business, the Delhi Medical Council on a daily basis issues notices to 20-25 practitioners who are working in various parts of the city with fake degrees.






Dr Bansal has now written a complaint to the registrar of DMC along with the Commissioner of Police.
"I have done this for protecting my family. We have been sending notices to several quacks on a daily basis. Also, copies of the same are being sent to the respective police stations. All the letters are sent with my name on them. That is probably why these persons are planning to attack me", he added.

Meanwhile, the registrar of the council has planned to take steps against all those participating in the protest.
"We will take serious action against those persons who are taking part in the protest," said Dr Girish Tyagi, Registrar, DMC.
