Overview

  • 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.
