Overview

  • From July 2024 to February 2025, MBBS doctor Pankaj Mohan Sharma used Dr. Pankaj Mohan’s registration number to carry out more than 50 cardiac surgeries at Badshah Khan Civil Hospital.
  • Sharma’s prescriptions bore a forged DNB cardiology stamp and he falsely claimed MD and DNB specializations without proper credentials.
  • The scheme unraveled when a patient contacted Dr. Pankaj Mohan, triggering a credential inquiry and Sharma’s abrupt departure after he failed to present his degree.
  • An FIR has been filed against the management of the Mediterina Hospital–run heart care centre and police are investigating potential negligence in credential verification.
  • Relatives of patients who suffered complications or died under his care have raised alarms over the deadly consequences of flawed hiring protocols.
