Fake UK Doctor Impersonator accused of killing 7 patients in Madhya Pradesh
Impersonator was once exposed by Mohammed Zubair
Damoh, Madhya Pradesh – A shocking case of medical fraud has come to light in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh district, where a man posing as a UK-based cardiologist allegedly performed fatal heart surgeries on unsuspecting patients. The accused, identified as Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, is accused of faking the identity of British doctor Prof. N John Camm (also spelt by him as "Kem") and taking up employment at a Christian missionary hospital in Damoh.
According to news agency ANI, Yadav conducted several heart surgeries at the hospital without holding any valid medical qualifications. So far, at least seven deaths have been officially linked to his fake procedures, but local authorities and activists fear the real toll could be significantly higher.
This is not the first time Yadav's impersonation of the UK-based doctor has raised red flags. In July 2023, fact-checker and Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair had exposed a Twitter (now X) account that was spreading communal misinformation using the name and photo of “Prof. N John Camm,” a respected British cardiologist. Zubair’s investigation revealed that the individual behind the account was actually Narendra Yadav.
The impersonator had gained attention after making bizarre posts such as urging UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to be sent to France to quell riots—clearly attempting to gain traction through politically charged content. Zubair had shared detailed posts linking Yadav’s social media accounts to older fraud and impersonation cases, but despite public exposure, Yadav continued to operate unchecked.
The real Professor John Camm, emeritus professor of cardiology at St George's University in London, had also clarified that someone was misusing his identity online. The matter even led to legal threats against Zubair, as the impersonator attempted to defend his false identity.
This week, fresh revelations have linked Yadav to at least seven patient deaths at the Christ Missionary Hospital in Damoh. Advocate and district child welfare committee president Deepak Tiwari has alleged that the actual death toll might be much higher, as several cases may not have been reported officially.
Tiwari said, “Some patients who did not die came to us and told us about the incident… They had taken their father to the hospital. The guy was ready to operate, but they were apprehensive, so they took their father to Jabalpur. We then learned that this fake doctor was working at the hospital.”
He also added that Yadav has an older criminal case against him in Hyderabad and had failed to submit any valid ID documents at the hospital.
The controversy deepened after it was revealed that the missionary hospital where Yadav was operating receives government funds under the Ayushman Bharat health scheme.
Priyanka Kanoongo, a member of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), confirmed that they had received a complaint about a fake doctor performing surgeries at a government-aided facility. She stated, “We were told that the hospital is associated with the Ayushman Bharat scheme and taking government money. This is a serious matter. We’ve taken cognisance and launched an investigation.”
Narendra Yadav’s ability to continue impersonating a foreign cardiologist, despite prior public exposure, points to serious lapses in verification and background checks—especially in hospitals receiving government support. What began as a social media impersonation case, flagged in 2023, has now turned into a criminal medical malpractice incident, potentially involving multiple deaths.
I was trolled and abused when I exposed him im 2023. Several right wing trolls supported him and fell for his Natuonalist tweets.

11-year-old dies by suicide after sexual assault in Bareilly; accused arrested
Bareilly (UP) (PTI): A 26-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl, who later died by suicide due to trauma, police said on Wednesday.
The post-mortem report confirmed sexual assault and multiple injuries on the minor's body, including bite marks and nail scratches. The cause of death was found to be hanging, they said.
According to ASP (South) Anshika Verma, the incident came to light on 27 April, when the girl, a Class 8 student, was found hanging at her home in Deoria Abdullaganj village under the Mirganj police station area. Initially, the family reported the death as suicide and was reluctant to pursue police action.
"The autopsy report changed the course of the investigation. It confirmed sexual assault and noted severe physical trauma. The cause of death was confirmed as hanging," Verma said.
A breakthrough in the case came from the statement of the victim's younger sister, who told police that the accused, Zeeshan (26), a resident of the same village, frequently loitered near the minor's school and allegedly gave her small sums of money to keep his interactions with her a secret, she said.
Police said that on the day of the incident, the accused allegedly lured the minor and assaulted her. Distressed by the incident, the child later took her own life while her mother was away, police said.
"Based on technical surveillance, CCTV footage, and statements from the family, we established Zeeshan's involvement. He was arrested near the Mirganj weekly market on Tuesday," they said.
