Doctor held for issuing fake certificate to ‘assaulter’

Faridabad, October 23

The Crime Branch of the local police has arrested a doctor of a private hospital here in connection with issuance of a fake medical certificate to an accused in a criminal case here.

A spokesperson of the Police Department said that the accused doctor, identified as Satish Kumar and running a private hospital in Nangla Part-2 of the NIT area, had issued a fake medical certificate and fake receipt of admission charges, to one Vijay Kumar, an accused in a case of criminal assault in March.

In the incident, a pregnant woman lost her unborn child, the spokesperson said. The certificate of admission in the hospital at the time of assault has been found bogus.

He said that Vijay, a resident of Anangpur village, had submitted this certificate for getting anticipatory bail which was pending in the High Court. The police had arrested two other accused — Rohit and Narender — from the same village on March 21.

The case was filed after a complaint was lodged with the police on March 3 by one Krishan Kumar, a resident of Dera Gurukul in Surajkund area.

Krishan Kumar alleged that Vijay, Rohit and their associates had barged into his house and beat up the family members including a pregnant woman, resulting in MTP of her unborn child, over some dispute. “Vijay has a criminal record,” he said. — TNS
