Dr Kafeel Khan, who is out on bail in connection with the death of infants at a State-run hospital in Gorakhpur last year , and his brother Adeel Khan were arrested on Sunday in a nine-year-old fraud case.
“A case was registered against Dr Kafeel and his brother Adeel under various sections of the IPC in 2009 at the Rajghat police station by Muzaffar Alam, a resident of the city’s Shekhhpur area. Muzaffar Alam in his complaint had accused both the brothers of using his photograph and ID to open a fake bank account in SBI and using the same to carry out transaction of over Rs 82 lakhs. At that time, Dr Kafeel was pursuing his medical studies at Manipal University,” Circle Officer (Cantonment) Prabhat Kumar Rai said.
The arrest was made by a team led by Superintendent of Police (City) Vinay Singh and Mr. Rai, on the direction of Senior Superintendent of Police Shalabh Mathur.
The move comes a day after Dr Khan was released on bail after being arrested on charges of creating a ruckus at a district hospital here.
Dr. Khan was arrested on Saturday for allegedly arguing with doctors and “disturbing” the treatment being given to patients at the hospital, police had said.
