# 41 fake Ayurveda doctors detected in Uttar Pradesh 2026-08-25T18:37:30+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Uttar Pradesh authorities have detected 41 allegedly fake Ayurveda doctors who were practising using forged documents. The doctors had obtained registration with the Ayurvedic and Unani Tibbi Medicine Board using fake BAMS marksheets, internship certificates, degrees and No Objection Certificates (NOCs). The Board has filed a complaint with Lucknow Police seeking registration of FIRs against all 41 individuals. It has also ordered a verification of educational qualifications of all doctors registered with it over the past 15 years. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The detection follows a pattern of fraudulent medical practice in Uttar Pradesh, where fake degrees in alternative medicine have surfaced before. The Board's move to audit 15 years of registrations suggests systemic lapses in verification at the time of enrolment. The scale of the fraud, 41 cases in one sweep, raises questions about how many more unqualified practitioners remain undetected. Patients who consulted these doctors now face potential health risks and no legal recourse. The police investigation and subsequent prosecutions will determine whether the fraud was an individual racket or involved Board officials. ## Coverage - indiatvnews.com Straight news report with no editorial slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
