Sources told The Kashmiriyat that an FIR under section 319 BNS has been registered against Abdul Razaq Khan for allegedly posing as a senior cardiologist from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Baramulla.

Locals the confronted him and handed him over to the police.

Police investigations revealed that Khan hails from Rajouri, Jammu, and has only completed his education up to the 12th grade.
