Over the period from 2014 to 2026, multiple serious allegations have been reported from different parts of India involving individuals identified as doctors or fake medical practitioners. These incidents span several states including Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Telangana, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand, and include charges such as sexual assault, rape, blackmail, exploitation, fraud, and alleged misuse of medical authority.

A case has been reported from Baghpat involving allegations against a Muslim doctor, identified as Dr Akram Qureshi, who has been accused of sexually assaulting a nurse, blackmailing her, and pressuring her for religious conversion.
The complainant, a divorced nurse working at a private hospital in Baraut, alleged that the doctor initially concealed his identity and developed a relationship with her by claiming to be divorced.

During this period, the accused allegedly recorded an objectionable video of her and used it to threaten and silence her whenever she demanded marriage.
The nurse further alleged that she became pregnant, after which the doctor pressured her to terminate the pregnancy. When she refused, she was allegedly subjected to physical assault and pressure for religious conversion. She also claimed that preparations were made for her conversion and that a fake marriage document was arranged.
The matter escalated when she visited the doctor’s residence, where she alleged that his wife physically assaulted her and attempted to force a miscarriage, after which her condition deteriorated. She later approached police authorities and submitted a written complaint seeking action.

24. Doctor Accused of Sexual Assault on Patient in Hospital, Police Case Registered
A doctor, identified as Dr. Niyaz, a Muslim doctor, has been accused of sexually assaulting a female patient admitted to a hospital in the Deralakatte area of Mangaluru. A case has been registered at Ullal police station following the complaint filed by the patient.
According to the complaint, the woman was admitted to the hospital for treatment of fever and cough. She stated that on February 9, the doctor came to examine her during her stay in the hospital, and the alleged sexual assault took place at that time.
After the incident, members of some women’s organisations reached the hospital and confronted the doctor. He was reportedly assaulted during the confrontation. The victim was later sent for medical examination as part of the investigation process.
Police have registered a case at Ullal police station and initiated further inquiry into the matter.
Hospital staff and representatives have denied the allegations, stating that the doctor was assaulted after he objected to unrelated video recording inside the hospital premises and was later subjected to a physical attack.
The compiled incidents over this thirteen-year period present a pattern of serious allegations linked to individuals operating within or around the medical profession. The cases include charges of sexual violence, coercion, blackmail through recorded content, and alleged exploitation of trust in doctor–patient relationships.
Many of these matters have led to police action, FIR registration, arrests, and in some cases judicial conviction. However, several cases are still under investigation, and legal determination of guilt or innocence rests with the courts.
These reports collectively underline the importance of stricter regulatory checks, stronger institutional safeguards, and effective monitoring of medical credentials. Ensuring accountability within healthcare systems remains essential to maintaining public trust and protecting vulnerable individuals seeking medical care.
