Police said the raid at the clinic in Mohalla Gunj resulted in the arrest of Adnan, a resident of Kumarwadi in Dhankota, who had been operating the centre with the alleged assistance of his mother, Saba Khan (also known as Mohammadi Begum), and his brother, Mohd Faizan, both of whom remain at large.
Investigators found that Adnan had completed an Intermediate course with CEC subjects between 2018 and 2020, but held no recognised medical degree or licence, making his practice illegal under Indian law.
At the Hikma Sehath Care Centre, Adnan was reported to have attended to patients complaining of sexual‑health issues, breathing difficulty, chest pain, repeated vomiting, severe body pain, kidney and flank pain, and urinary problems, while claiming that he and his family were practising as ancestral hakeems.
According to police, Adnan began working at the clinic in 2023 under a BUMS‑qualified Unani doctor, Munarwa Begum. The arrangement allegedly involved paying the doctor ₹13,000 a month for occasional visits, while Adnan and his family managed day‑to‑day operations.
During the operation, officers seized a large cache of unlabelled medicines and powders, including twenty one‑kilogram packets of a substance labelled ‘Talbina’, several other bottles, prescription books bearing the name Hikma Health Care, and five books linked to a Facebook page titled ‘Dr. Adnan Official’.
A case has been lodged at Golconda police station under Sections 318(4) and 125 read with 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, charging Adnan with impersonating a qualified medical practitioner and providing unlicensed medical treatment.
The arrest highlights ongoing concerns about unqualified individuals offering medical services in informal clinics, prompting authorities to warn of stricter enforcement against illegal health practices.
