Tumkur: Police in Karnataka have arrested a couple who were faking as doctors in a fraud case. The fraud committed by the accused couple resulted in the death of a woman on Saturday. The duo disguised as doctors had taken Rs 4 lakh from a childless woman in the Tiptur area of the district. The police investigation revealed that the fake doctor couple has not studied beyond class 12.
The victim has been identified as Mamatha (34). She married Mallikarjun fifteen years ago but the couple did not have children. Consequently, the fake doctor couple Manjunath and Vani contacted Mamata and Mallikarjun and told them that through IVF treatment they will help them to get a child. The fake doctor couple had treated Mamatha unscientifically with IVF for 4 months taking Rs 4 lakh.
