The injections Mukith administered led to sepsis of the knee joint, a swollen leg and fever.
Lakshmibai was rushed to another doctor who performed surgery to remove the infected tissue.
Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Santosh Kumar, who is treating Lakshmibai, said: "She was given three steroid injections in the knee joints. These injections are prescribed only for certain conditions... When she came to me, her entire knee joint was damaged due to sepsis. The family also lost all their money in getting treatment from the quack. Although her leg was saved, it is completely unstable and has no sensation..."
Mukith was among the seven unqualified practitioners raided a fortnight ago by TGMC officials. Six FIRs were lodged after the raids in Parigi, Moinabad, and Daulatabad areas. "We had prescriptions of Mukith, but when the raid started in Daulatabad, he got the information through their network. He shut down the clinic and fled," said TGMC chief Dr G Srinivas.
