Doctor on the run

Munir Khan is supposed to be a high profile Doctor who prescribes wonder medicines – he advertises extensively on the local cable TV network. But, when his patients came to his chamber to get their promised doses of medicine, they found the chamber locked. Later, they learnt that he is absconding and that the police are after him. He is, in fact, a quack and people got fooled by his advertisements in the local cable TV channels. Police complaints are piling up against his name. He usually compels his patients to pay for the wonder drugs in advance but these fail to cure the diseases. One of the complainants recounted of how she paid 16 thousand rupees to get medicines for her child who suffers from epilepsy and another of how she hocked her jewelry to get the 15 thousand rupees to purchase medicine for her husband who is a heart patient.
