# 23-year-old held for posing as doctor in Hyderabad 2026-09-24T04:26:33+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Hyderabad police arrested Mohd Adnan, 23, on September 22 for running Hikma Sehath Care Centre in Golconda without a medical licence. Police said Adnan, who completed only higher secondary education, treated patients for conditions including sexual health issues, chest pain and kidney problems. His mother Saba Khan and brother Mohd Faizan are absconding. During the raid, police seized unlabelled medicines and powders. The Hindu reports Adnan worked with a BUMS-qualified Unani doctor from 2023, paid Rs 13,000 a month to visit occasionally. Siasat.com adds the family pretended to be ancestral hakeems. India Today notes Adnan promoted the centre on Facebook and Instagram. A case has been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for cheating and endangering life. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets report the same facts without discernible slant. The uniform focus is on the accused's lack of qualifications, the unlabelled medicines, and the absconding family members. Police claims of endangering lives are reported without challenge. The balanced reading is that this is a straightforward crime report from police sources, with no competing narratives or editorial framing. The case will proceed in court. ## Coverage - thehindu.com (neutral report) Led with police facts, no framing beyond official account - siasat.com (neutral report) Straight police report, added background on family hakeem history - indiatoday.in (neutral report) Briefest version, no editorialising or extra context Tags: Golconda, Hyderabad, Mohd Adnan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/23-year-old-held-for-posing-as-doctor-in-hyderabad/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
