A startling incident has emerged from Maharashtra, where a man named Dattatray Sadashiv Pawar, who has only completed the tenth grade, was operating a clinic without any medical qualifications. For the past three years, he has been treating patients for serious ailments such as diabetes and bone issues. Pawar admitted that he had undergone just four days of training in Satara, which he used as a basis to open his clinic in Pandharpur. He charged patients ₹500 per visit and treated approximately 70 to 80 patients daily.

The clinic was located behind the Narayan Dev Baba Bhakt Niwas on Old Akluj Road in Pandharpur. Local residents grew suspicious of his practices and alerted the health department.

With assistance from the police and municipal authorities, the health department conducted a raid on the clinic. During the operation, it was discovered that Pawar lacked any license or medical certification to operate a clinic.

For three years, Pawar not only treated patients in Pandharpur but also in Shegaon, putting many lives at risk with his unqualified medical practices.

Following the revelation of his fraudulent activities, the police took action against Pawar and shut down his clinic. An extensive investigation is now underway to uncover any similar cases, highlighting the serious issue of fraud in healthcare services and the need for vigilance.
