RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh police have filed a First Information Report (FIR) against ‘fake’ cardiologist Dr Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, also known as Narendra John Camm, and a reputed private hospital in Bilaspur, in connection with the death of former Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly Speaker Pt Rajendra Prasad Shukla.
Pt Rajendra Prasad Shukla, former Speaker of the Assembly, passed away during treatment at the private hospital in 2006. Sarkanda police of Bilaspur district filed the FIR against Dr Yadav and the hospital under Sections 420, 465, 466, 468, 471, 304, and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
“We have filed the FIR against the doctor and the hospital under various sections of the IPC for negligence in connection with the death of the former Speaker on Saturday evening. We are investigating the case further,” said Sarkanda Station House Officer (SHO) Nilesh Pandey.
The report also mentions the case of seven patients who died following heart surgeries at a Mission Hospital in Damoh, where the same doctor, who allegedly falsely claimed to be a cardiologist, was arrested. It's alleged that 7–8 patients died at a private hospital in Bilaspur due to this doctor, including veteran Congress leader Pt Rajendra Prasad Shukla.
Pt Shukla, who served as an MLA for over three decades and was a former Speaker of the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly, was admitted to the private hospital in Bilaspur on 20 August 2006, after his health deteriorated. He died during surgery, which was conducted by the alleged Dr Yadav.
Following the Damoh incident, Shukla’s family demanded an investigation. The then Indian Medical Association (IMA) President and cardiologist Dr V.S. Dubey conducted an inquiry and found that Narendra’s documents were fake. He held only an MBBS degree and was not a qualified cardiologist.
The private hospital administration also sought documents related to the doctor from its headquarters, following directives from the Bilaspur Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO). The investigation revealed discrepancies in the fake doctor’s name, date of birth, and father’s name.
