Gujarat Police arrested 14 fake doctors who purchased degrees from the gang. The police said the main accused, Dr Ramesh Gujarati, was also arrested.

Gujarat Police arrested 14 fake doctors who purchased degrees from the gang. The police said the main accused, Dr Ramesh Gujarati, was also arrested.

The accused were offering degrees, "issued by" the "Board of Electro Homoeopathic Medicine (BEHM) Gujarat". The cops found hundreds of applications, certificates and stamps in their possession. 

The police said they received information that three people with fake doctor degrees were running their allopathy practice, and the revenue department along with the police, raided their clinics. Upon questioning the accused showed degrees issued by BEHM, which the cops said was fake since the Gujarat government does not issue any such degree.
