When police started investigating the case and looked for the doctor’s background, it was found that Uike he was a wall painter.

A man has been booked for working as a doctor in the name of his tribal friend in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur. Satendra Kumar was practising as a doctor since seven with an MBBS degree in the name of his tribal friend Brijraj Singh Uike until a patient died.

The incident came to light after one Manoj Kumar Mahawar lodged a complaint against a doctor in September 2024, after the death of his mother. In his complaint, Manoj claimed that his mother died due to medical negligence.

She was taken to a private hospital on September 1 and died only a day after being admitted.

Manoj later found that Dr. Brijraj Singh Uike was on duty in the ICU in the night when his mother was admitted, reported Times Of India.

He filed a complaint in the matter. When police started investigating the case and looked for the doctor’s background, it was found that Uike he was a wall painter.

When the police went to the wall painter with the name Brijraj Singh Uike, he was a different person. The police showed the wall painter the picture of the doctor, responding to which, he said, “Why, it’s my friend Satendra!”, as per the TOI report.

Further investigation revealed that the individual posing as Dr. Uike was actually Satendra, who had fraudulently used his friend’s identity and caste certificate to secure admission to Netaji Subhash Chandra Medical College. He had changed his identity to avail the tribal quota as he belonged to the general category.

After completing his MBBS in 2018, Satendra began working at a private hospital under the false identity. Meanwhile, the real Uike-whose name and credentials were misused-was working as a wall painter to afford a living.

The police have registered an FIR for fraud and conspiracy against Satendra, who is currently absconding. A further investigation in the case is underway.
