Rajkot: Man held for practising medicine without degree

Rajkot: A man was arrested for allegedly carrying out medical practice without a legal degree in medicine in Bedala village on the outskirts of Rajkot on Friday. The accused was identified as Kirit Satani (30).

“We had received a tip-off that Satani was running his clinic without a degree in medicine, following which we raided his clinic. We recovered allopathic medicines, injections and glucose bottles from his clinic,” said H M Rana, sub-inspector with Rajkot special operation group.

During his interrogation, Satani told the cops that he had studied up to Class XII, and had worked in different hospitals as a male nurse. On the basis of his working experience in the hospitals, he had decided to open his clinic and start practising.
