TGMC inspections in Warangal–Hanamkonda; three FIRs registered
WARANGAL: The Telangana Medical Council (TGMC) has taken action against three persons allegedly practising allopathic medicine and posing as doctors without MBBS or any legally recognised medical qualification.
Following inspections conducted in the Warangal–Hanamkonda area, police registered three separate FIRs against the alleged practitioners.
An FIR (No. 741/2026) was registered at the AJ Mills Colony Police Station against Gurrapu Ramakrishna, who runs Ramakrishna Clinic at Fort Warangal. The complaint stated that he was treating patients, prescribing medicines and administering injections while claiming to be a doctor despite not possessing an MBBS qualification.
During the inspection, officials reportedly found intravenous painkillers, antibiotics, IV cannulas and Schedule-H medicines at the clinic. TGMC said that an FIR had previously been registered against him and a chargesheet had also been filed.
Another FIR (No. 283/2026) was registered against A. Kumaraswamy, who runs Raja Rajeshwari First Aid Clinic on Vishnupuri-Somidi Road in Kazipet. He was accused of practising allopathic medicine without an MBBS qualification.
Officials reportedly found painkillers, antibiotics, IV steroids, rabies and tetanus vaccines, and equipment used for IV treatment at the clinic. The inspection report also stated that he was treating children.
An FIR (No. 284/2026) was registered against B. Sudhakar, the operator of Sri Sai Teja First Aid Clinic in the same area. He was accused of practising allopathic medicine without an MBBS qualification.
The FIR stated that antibiotics, steroids, pain-relief injections and IV fluids were being used at the clinic. Schedule-H medicines were also seized. A previous FIR had also been registered against him, according to the complaint.
Legal action
Cases were registered under Sections 318(4) and 319(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), besides Sections 20(ii), 21 and 22 of the Telangana Medical Practitioners’ Registration Act, 1968.
The TGMC stated that practising modern scientific medicine or claiming to do so without being a registered medical practitioner was illegal. It added that the law provided for stricter punishment in cases of repeated offences, including imprisonment and fines under the BNS provisions.
Public warned
The Medical Council warned people against seeking treatment from unqualified persons, stating that wrong diagnosis and the unnecessary use of antibiotics, steroids, injections and IV fluids could lead to serious health complications.
Children, pregnant women, elderly persons and patients suffering from serious illnesses were particularly vulnerable, it said.
The TGMC advised people to verify a doctor’s name, MBBS or postgraduate qualification and registration with the Telangana Medical Council before seeking treatment.
People were also urged to report those posing as doctors, running clinics without proper qualifications or administering allopathic medicines and injections illegally.
