QUESTION Homeopathy paper on pus retracted after alleged 'fake doctor' authors got arrested

Ashim and Aradeep own and manage a private clinic called the Critical Cancer Management Research Centre and Clinic (CCMRCC) in Kolkata, but despite the impressive name and its sheer number of Cs, the facility might be one to skip.

Ashim, a practising homeopath, and his son, Aradeep, a cancer specialist, were both arrested last year for being what the Indian media called 'fake doctors' – with police saying the pair operated their clinic without holding the necessary medical qualifications they claimed to possess.

According to reports, Aradeep claimed to be an MD in integrative oncology but has no medical degree, while his father's allopathic medical degree is also alleged to be fraudulent.

Disgusting. People get scared when they hear the word "cancer" and look for miracle cures in desperation. These charletans take advantage and offer cures by homeopathy. I hope they get thrown in jail.

yep, I have always said, wealth means nothing at some point, imagine how useless ones wealth is when their child has an incurable disease, so I can almost understand how far desperate people would go on the off chance of one of these fakes working.
