Fake British Doctor Arrested in India after Alleged Surgical Deaths of Seven Patients

Madhya Pradesh– April 9 –:-Police in India have arrested a man accused of impersonating a British cardiologist and performing surgeries that allegedly resulted in the deaths of at least seven patients.
The suspect, identified as 53-year-old Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, was operating under the false identity of “Dr. N John Camm” and had been working at a missionary hospital in the central state of Madhya Pradesh for nearly two decades.
Authorities allege Yadav forged medical degrees and qualifications to secure his position, posing as a UK-trained cardiologist. His fraudulent practice reportedly involved conducting complex heart procedures, despite lacking legitimate medical training.
“We have arrested Mr. Yadav on charges of fraud, cheating, and forgery,” said a senior police official. “Initial investigations suggest he faked his degrees and deceived both the hospital and hundreds of patients over several years.”
The case came to light following an internal audit and rising concerns over a series of post-surgical complications and fatalities linked to procedures conducted by Yadav. The deaths of at least seven patients have now been formally linked to his alleged malpractice.
Hospital authorities have expressed shock and are cooperating with the investigation. “We were unaware of the fraudulent identity. We are fully assisting law enforcement and reviewing our internal verification procedures,” a hospital spokesperson said.
This shocking revelation has sparked outrage among the public and raised serious questions about medical credential checks and patient safety in the country.
Further investigations are ongoing, and police have not ruled out the possibility of more victims or wider criminal connections.
