Just hours after officials from the Vishrambaug police station have arrested Nazira Moldharia for prescribing herbal medicines to patients, they received several calls from local politicians patronising the so-called doctor.

Evem local corporator and former standing committee chairperson Ganesh Bidkar, personally visited the police station and told the officials that he would help Moldharai, who hailed from Gujarat, secure a licence so that she could carry out her practice legally.
