Overview

  • Satendra Kumar fraudulently used his tribal friend Brijraj Singh Uike's identity to secure an MBBS degree and practiced medicine for seven years.
  • The deception came to light after the September 2024 death of Shanti Devi Mahawar, whose son filed a complaint alleging medical negligence.
  • Police investigations revealed that the real Brijraj Singh Uike, a wall painter, had no medical background and identified Satendra as the impostor.
  • An FIR has been registered against Satendra Kumar for fraud and conspiracy, but he remains at large as authorities search for him.
  • The case has prompted scrutiny of Madhya Pradesh's quota verification processes and private hospital oversight, with probes into possible wider fraud networks.
