A shocking fake medical degree racket was busted in Gujarat, India, where 14 fake doctors were arrested for purchasing degrees for ₹70,000 each. The gang, led by Dr. Ramesh Gujarati, was issuing fake degrees to even class 8 graduates, claiming they were affiliated with the Ayush Ministry of Gujarat.

The police investigation revealed that the gang had a database of 1,200 fake degrees and had been operating for some time. The accused were offering degrees in electro-homeopathy, a field that lacks regulations in India. They even went as far as setting up a fake website to register the degrees.

The gang's modus operandi was to target vulnerable individuals who were eager to become doctors but lacked the qualifications. They would promise these individuals that the fake degree would allow them to practice allopathy, homeopathy, and Aarogya without any issues. The accused would issue the certificates within 15 days of receiving the payment and would demand renewal fees ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 after a year.

When the fake doctors found out that people were apprehensive toward electro homeopathy, they changed their plans and started offering people degrees issued by the Ayush Ministry of Gujarat, claiming that BEHM their made-up board has a tie-up with the state government, they could practice allopathy, homeopathy, and Aarogya without any problem
