Dear Karelia,

Hats off to your spirit.

I am enclosing an instance where the provisions quoted by you were used
against quacks in Gugrat.

Please send me a copy of Gujrat Medical Practitioners Act, 1963. I will pay
for it.

*Quack held for two year old child's death** *

*EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE** *
 ------------------------------

SURAT, July 25: Acting swiftly, the police on Sunday arrested an alleged
quack who three days ago gave an injection to a two-year-old boy, which
resulted in the child's death on Sunday morning. The victim died in the New
Civil Hospital, a few hours before being admitted there, after the injection
caused a septic wound in his hip.

According to information, the victim, Hari Prasad Yadav, was given an
injection by Dr Pankaj Kumar, presently residing at Sanjaynagar slum, on
July 22. But Hari developed a high fever immediately after being injected
the medicine.

Hari then suddenly lost consciousness on Saturday night and his parents
rushed him to the New Civil Hospital, where he died at 3.30 am on Sunday,
with pus formed in his hips.

Even as the father Radheshyam Jawaharlal Yadav, a mill worker and resident
of Sanjaynagar slum of Udhna Road no 3, told the police that his son died
because of pus formation in the area where the injection was given, the
police raided the Kumar's house and arrested him before he could escape.

Police investigations later revealed that Kumar did not have any medical
degree or valid certificate that allowed him to practice as a doctor.

The Udhna police have registered a case under sections 326 and 419 of the
IPC and sections 33 and 35 of the Gujarat Medical Practitioners Act 1963.
PSI B M Rawat is investigating further.

Incidentally, less than a fortnight ago, the Udhna police raided the
dispensaries of five quacks operating in Azadnagar and Sanjaynagar slums of
Udhna area and booked them for illegally running dispensaries without any
certificates.
