Man's death exposes doctor sans degree

KOZHIKODE: Police arrested Abu Abraham Luke, a fake doctor serving as an RMO at a private hospital, after the family of a deceased patient filed a complaint. Luke had dropped out after completing his first year of MBBS in 2012. Vinod Kumar, 60, died under Luke's care for chest pain, raising suspicions when Dr Ashwin, the deceased's son, reviewed his father's medical records and found signs of malpractice.

Probing further, Ashwin discovered Luke's lack of qualifications. The hospital admitted they were unaware of his fake credentials until the family reported the issue.
