It is reported that after joining the hospital, he began performing heart surgeries on patients, and the patients who underwent surgery died later on, according to the officials.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Tiwari said that some patients who did not die came and told them about the incident and that they had taken their father to the hospital. “The guy was ready to operate, but they were a bit apprehensive, so they took their father to Jabalpur. We then got to know that there was this fake doctor working at the hospital; the real guy is in Britain, and this guy’s name is Narendra Yadav. “There is a case against him in Hyderabad, and he has never shown his real documents,” ANI quoted Tiwari.

However, after the allegations surfaced, the district investigating team seized all documents from the hospital. The probe later revealed that the fake doctor, Vikramaditya Yadav, had filed fake documents similar to the famous British doctor, whom he impersonated. Vikramaditya Yadav was reportedly found to have been involved in multiple controversies, including a criminal case registered in Hyderabad.

Authorities are currently investigating the issue of the matter of multiple deaths in the missionary hospital.
