A 23-year-old man, Mir Hussain Ahmed Barbhuiya, was arrested at Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH) in Assam’s Cachar district after allegedly posing as a gynaecologist and examining patients in the hospital’s outpatient department for three days. The arrest has raised alarm among patients and staff, with hospital authorities investigating how Barbhuiya gained access and operated undetected, and not ruling out possible insider involvement. This incident follows the earlier arrest of another fake doctor in Silchar, intensifying concerns over security and verification practices in government-run healthcare institutions and prompting police to promise strict action while urging public vigilance.
