Fake dentist arrested in Bengal

A fake dentist was arrested by West Bengal Police’s CID in North 24 Parganas district on Wednesday.

“Prince Basu Mallik, a fake dentist was arrested from Barasat by the CID team,” the CID said in a tweet.

An array of fake doctors have been arrested from the state in the past few months.

The fake doctor racket came to the fore on May 3 when the CID arrested two practitioners employed in government-run hospitals in north Bengal’s Alipurduar and North Dinajpur districts.
