Bilaspur: In a shocking turn of events, the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Bilaspur has issued a show-cause notice to Apollo Hospital, Bilaspur, demanding an explanation for the appointment of Dr. Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav, an alleged fake doctor accused of multiple deaths including the death of Chhattisgarh’s first speaker.

Dr. Yadav, also known as Narendra John Camm, has been implicated in the deaths of seven heart patients at Mission Hospital in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, and is suspected of causing several fatalities in Bilaspur.

The controversy gained momentum after Prof. Pradeep Shukla, son of the late Rajendra Prasad Shukla, the first Speaker of the Chhattisgarh Assembly, alleged that his father died due to a surgery performed by Dr. Yadav. According to Prof. Shukla, his father was admitted to Apollo Hospital in August 2006 for heart treatment, where Dr. Yadav conducted an angiography using laser technology. Following the procedure, the former Speaker's health deteriorated, and he passed away after 18 days on a ventilator.

Prof. Shukla further claimed that subsequent investigations by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) revealed that Dr. Yadav's medical degree was fake. The CMO, Dr. Pramod Tiwari, has now sought documentary evidence of Dr. Yadav's qualifications and the grounds for his appointment at Apollo Hospital.

Notably, then Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh and Assembly Speaker Prem Prakash Pandey had instructed that all possible treatments be provided to the late Speaker without financial concerns. The then Collector, Gaurav Dwivedi, also visited the hospital during the treatment.

Dr. Yadav, who hails from Kanpur, claims to hold an MBBS degree from a medical college in Andhra Pradesh, with registration number 153427. However, his subsequent MD and cardiology degrees from Kolkata, Darjeeling, and the UK lack valid registration numbers. He was employed at Apollo Hospital in 2006.

The case took a darker turn recently when it was revealed that Dr. Yadav, operating under the alias Dr. N John Camm, performed 15 heart surgeries at Mission Hospital in Damoh between December 2024 and February 2025.

Seven patients reportedly died during this period. Following these revelations, Dr. Yadav escaped but was apprehended in Prayagraj on Monday. The National Human Rights Commission has taken serious note of the incident.

Authorities are now investigating the full extent of Dr. Yadav's fraudulent activities and the systemic lapses that allowed him to practice medicine without valid credentials.
