More than two months after the Agripada police identified 58 bogus doctors in the city, only one - the mastermind - has been arrested, while the rest continue to practise unabashedly. Their postgraduate degrees were de-recognised by the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) and the cops registered n FIR against them in October 2018. Despite that, they continue to put patients' lives at risk, a front-page report said in this paper.

The MMC found several forged certificates after checking with the College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPS) in the city. The police say that their investigations are continuing in the case and information has already come in through the arrested doctor. This has to be dealt with on a war footing, as even after being outed, the daocs have somehow managed to keep practising at clinics and hospitals, which is simply unacceptable. Considering the risk to patients, the employers should have at least been informed about the impostor docs.
