MP hospital's 'Dr Death' John Camm seen entering operation theatre wearing a suit and tie

NEW DELHI: Amid the death of seven patients post surgery at the Mission Hospital in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh district, a CCTV footage has surfaced showing the accused fake doctor, dressed in a formal suit and tie, walking into the operation theatre of a hospital in Damoh, while the rest of the staff wore standard OT uniforms.
Narendra Vikramaditya Yadav is accused of impersonating a renowned British cardiologist, Dr N John Camm, and allegedly conducting unauthorised heart surgeries that led to the deaths of at least seven patients.

Meanwhile, health authorities have sealed the cath lab of the hospital.

District health officer Vikrant Singh Chauhan, speaking to reporters at the hospital, confirmed the sealing of the cath lab. “On the directions of the district administration, only the cath lab has been sealed as all the operations and related evidence are linked to this area,” he stated. “The angiography and angioplasty of several deceased patients were performed here.”
The accused was arrested by Madhya Pradesh Police and faces charges of forgery, impersonation, and medical negligence. Yadav is believed to have used forged documents to assume the identity of the UK-based doctor.
One of the victims’ relatives, Jitendra Singh Rajput, recounted how his father became a victim of the alleged fraud. “My father had chest pain, and the doctors said it was a heart attack. They recommended surgery. I told them I couldn’t afford it, and they said the Ayushman card would cover the expenses,” he said.
The incident has sparked statewide outrage, with chief minister Mohan Yadav promising swift and strict action. “Our government acts promptly in such cases. We have built a reputation for credibility. I’ve instructed the health department to investigate thoroughly and act firmly if similar cases arise,” the chief minister told reporters.
State minister Prahlad Patel also commented, revealing that the missionary hospital had been the subject of previous controversies. “This is a very serious case. That institution has faced scrutiny before. There must be a thorough, unbiased investigation. Politics should not cloud justice—we need to support the victims and hold those responsible accountable,” he said.
