The said doctor was collecting Rs 40,000 weekly from me for the treatment of my late wife Hajira. He used to suggest the medicines required for stomach ailment while she was suffering from cancer. He looted me financially for one and a half year, the complainant had claimed.
It was the responsibility of the said doctor to inform me about the real disease of my wife, but to loot me unabated he continued to treat her for stomach ailment. I was forced to sell my ancestral land comprising 2 kanals for Rs 6 lakhs to pay fee to the doctor.
