Police seal ‘fake’ paediatrician's clinic in UP's Bhadohi; FIR lodged
Bhadohi (PTI): Authorities in Uttar Pradesh's Bhadohi district have sealed a children's clinic and hospital after its operator was allegedly found treating patients with a fake medical degree, officials said on Tuesday.
An FIR was lodged late Monday night against Ramesh Yadav, who ran the Govind Prabha Clinic and Baby Centre in the Abholi area, they said.
Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Santosh Kumar Chak said a probe was ordered following complaints about the clinic.
The investigation, conducted by Deputy CMO Ashish Dubey on October 25, revealed that Yadav did not possess any valid medical qualification, he said.
“No registration record of the hospital was found with the health department, and the degree he presented was found to be fake," Chak said.
Following the inquiry, the clinic was sealed, and the medical superintendent of Duraganj Community Health Centre, Shubhankar Srivastava, was directed to file a police complaint, the CMO said.
Local police station in-charge Ajit Kumar Srivastava said an FIR has been registered against Yadav under sections related to cheating and impersonation, as well as provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act, for practising medicine without authorisation.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
