Delhi guy poses as AIIMS doctor to speed up sister's cancer treatment

Delhi Police arrested a 19-year-old boy posing as a doctor on Saturday after the hospital staff realised he was an imposter.

Adnan Khurram, hailing from Bihar, had been visiting Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) since past six months posing as a doctor.

Khurram used to carry a diary that other doctors used to carry to make the security at the gate believe that he is a part of the staff. Khurram also tried coming closer to the existing staff and doctors in AIIMS.

Adnan Khurram allegedly took advantage of the facilities available for the doctors and got many people treated in the hospital as well.

Khurram's sister, a blood cancer patient, is also admitted in AIIMS. Khurram allegedly decided to pose as a medical professional so that his sister could get a better treatment in the hospital.

According to a report by the Indian Express, Adnan Khurram was charged under section 419 and 468 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and has been sent to Tihar Jail.

The arrest has been confirmed by Romil Baaniya, DCP (south). Khurram, who made a resident doctor his friend through Facebook, found a way to enter AIIMS by getting his hands on a notebook that all the junior doctors used to carry. He wrote his name inside it and used it to enter the hospital freely without any security checks.

He was arrested after he was identified as an imposter by resident doctors. The police also found some pictures of him posing in a doctor's uniform.
