West Bengal 'Fake Doctor' Held At Delhi Airport Over Child's Death After Surgery, Sent To 6-Day Police Custody

A man accused of performing a fatal surgery on a child while posing as a doctor was arrested at Delhi's IGI Airport and remanded to police custody for six days. Sheikh Saidul, the alleged fake doctor, was apprehended as he attempted to escape to another country. The Purba Bardhaman district court in West Bengal issued a lookout to facilitate the arrest.

The prosecution has requested the court to add murder charges under Section 103 (1) of the BNS against Saidul, who allegedly planned to board a flight to Sharjah following the child's death. A non-bailable arrest warrant had already been issued against Saidul. The child suffered complications after undergoing phimosis surgery in September at Nababhat area, leading to his demise.

Three others, including two co-owners of the nursing home, have already been arrested in the case. Police monitored Saidul's movements by tracking his phone calls after receiving a complaint from the child's family.
