Dehradun police have nabbed the 16th accused from Delhi in the fake Bachelor of Ayurveda Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) degree case. The police said that the accused named Mohammad Gurrfan is another fake BAMS doctor who had bought his degree from the main accused Imlakh Khan.
The police said that the accused revealed in the preliminary investigation that he met Imlakh through his brother Saddam who used to work with Imlakh. They both promised to give him a real degree as Imlakh claimed to have his own college. He said that he paid Rs six lakh and Imlakh gave him a BAMS degree from Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Health Science, Karnataka, said the police. He told the police that they asked him to sign some papers outside the Indian Medical Council and then asked him to submit them to the council and delivered his registration certificate in the next few days. The police said that the accused also revealed that though he is a resident of Delhi, Imlakh mentioned Mehboob colony in Dehradun as his permanent address during the registration where he has never lived.
The police said that he will be presented in court soon. It is pertinent to mention here that the police recovered 1,200 forged documents including fake MBBS degrees allegedly from Ukraine from the possession of Imlakh Khan last month. Khan has been allegedly providing such counterfeit degrees to many people for over a decade and some of whom are suspected to be working as government employees. The senior superintendent of police Daleep Singh Kunwar said that police are working to identify such fake doctors along with all other culprits in the case.
