KOLHAPUR: Police on Tuesday arrested a man from Punjab for allegedly "practising" as a dentist for eight months without a proper licence at Bambawade village in Shahuwadi taluka, around 50km from here.
Accused Sardar Swaransingh is originally from Jalandhar in Punjab. He failed to provide licence or proper certificate supporting his practice when police asked him to do so.
Police said Swaransingh admitted that he worked as an assistant to a dentist at his native place in the past.
According to police, he used to ask passengers at ST bus stand and other transit places whether they are suffering from dental problems. Police also found some surgical equipment, medicines and dummy teeth made of acrylic or fibre on him at the Bambawade ST stand.
Rahul Patil, sub-inspector of the Shahuwadi police station, said, "Local dentists had complained to the taluka health officer and block development officer about the accused. He used to visit bus stands, catch the attention of people and offered to provide dental treatment at low cost. We will file charges against him after discussing the case with our seniors."
