According to the complaint, Sartajuddin had been treating patients for decades using forged certificates that claimed he held a medical degree from Russia.

Soon after the FIR was submitted, police sealed the clinic. Authorities launched a search operation to trace the fake doctor, who fled from the area immediately after the complaint surfaced. Police teams have also been conducting raids at his residence and other suspected locations to gather further evidence.
