Fake Cardiologist Arrested After Seven Deaths at Madhya Pradesh Hospital

Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, impersonating a UK specialist, performed unauthorized surgeries; NHRC and police investigations are ongoing.

Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, posing as UK cardiologist Dr. N John Camm, performed at least 15 heart surgeries at Damoh's Mission Hospital, leading to seven deaths.
The accused was arrested in Prayagraj after being on the run since February, with charges including forgery, negligence, and cheating filed against him.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has dispatched a team to Damoh from April 7 to 9 to investigate the deaths and the hospital's role in hiring Yadav.
Concerns have been raised about the misuse of government funds under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, as the hospital is a beneficiary of the program.
Yadav has a history of similar fraudulent practices, including a 2006 case tied to a high-profile death, highlighting systemic lapses in credential verification.
