A man named Abdullah, who is said to be a bakery worker, was doing round in the Civil Hospital’s Trauma Centre by wearing doctor’s gown.
The security guard got suspicious of his get-up and upon verification he was found fake and handed over to the police.
The fake doctor told the police that he had been dreaming of becoming a medical practitioner since childhood but could not make it through as far as his educational qualifications were concerned.
So, he put on the doctor’s gown and reached the hospital to treat patients. But, his college boy looks and fancy hairstyle exposed him to the guards who handed him over to the cops present at the picket set up at the Civil Hospital.
