A man posing as a British cardiologist has allegedly performed fatal heart surgeries, leading to the deaths of at least seven patients at a Christian missionary hospital in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh city.
The accused, identified as Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, operated under the false identity of "Dr N John Kem" and was employed at the hospital without proper credentials, according
to officials. Deepak Tiwari, district president of the child welfare committee and an advocate, said while the official death toll stands at seven, the actual number of victims could be higher. “Some families came forward and told us how they almost lost their relatives. They became suspicious and took their loved ones to Jabalpur for treatment, where they learned about the impersonation,” he said.
