GURUGRAM: A Meerut resident has accused a Sushant Lok-based doctor of cheating him of Rs 10 lakh.
According to the complaint filed by Dharmraj, his wife had suffered burn injuries last year for which doctors had advised her to go for a plastic surgery. When he enquired about the cost of the treatment he was told that it would be around Rs 20 lakh.
However, he met the accused — Dr TR Patnaik — who after studying the case told him that he would give him a 50% discount if he made an advance payment. “I cleared the payment in two instalments — Rs 7 lakh in January and Rs 3 lakh in February.
However, even after getting the full payment the doctor did not carry out any procedure on my wife. Later, I got to know from others that he had cheated several similarly,”Dharmraj said. An FIR has been registered against Dr Patnaik under sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating) of IPC at Sector 10A police station.
