In a shocking development, police on Tuesday registered a case of fraud against the management of Mission Hospital in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, where fake heart surgeon Dr. Narendra Yadav—who operated under the alias Dr. N John Camm—is currently in custody for conducting unauthorized cardiac surgeries using forged documents.
The case was filed against nine members of the hospital management for allegedly using forged signatures of a doctor to illegally run a cath lab within the hospital premises. Authorities have booked them under relevant sections of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita and the MP Nursing Homes Act.
This action follows a complaint by one Krishna Patel, who approached the Human Rights Commission alleging fraudulent activities in the name of heart surgeries at the hospital. The complaint triggered an investigation that exposed a disturbing web of deceit. Patel accused Dr. Yadav of performing surgeries using a fake identity, supported by suspicious documents—his Aadhaar card reportedly listed a German national as his father and contained other questionable details.
Dr. Yadav is alleged to be involved in multiple patient deaths following surgeries, raising serious concerns about the hospital’s medical practices and verification systems.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted to probe the matter thoroughly. The SIT is expected to produce Dr. Yadav in court again on April 17, as the investigation continues into what is turning out to be a major case of medical fraud with possible international links.
The case has triggered widespread outrage and calls for stricter checks on private healthcare institutions across the state.
