Doctor wanted to build a hospital fraudster built a lie

She spent her life treating patients. At 75, she thought it was time to build something that would outlive her a space for healing “Hospital”. A place to pass on her purpose. That’s when he entered her life.
He promised support he took everything instead
What started as conversations about her dream ended in a nightmare worth over ₹9 crore. ₹2.2 crore in cash. 26 sovereigns of gold. Two plots of land in Sholinganallur. Gone signed away without her knowing. The promise of a hospital replaced by forged papers.
He wore a government badge but had a criminal mind
- Sankar, an inspector with TANGEDCO. Not a fraudster off the streets. An insider. Educated. Experienced. He earned her trust with silence, not swagger. Gained Power of Attorney. Transferred her land to his wife’s name. And vanished into a clean scam.
The crime surfaced but what she lost is deeper than money
The Central Crime Branch arrested him. But the pain doesn’t end with a case number. The doctor now lives with something worse than loss “Doubt”. Every knock feels dangerous. Every helping hand feels like bait.
Doctors across India are being trapped by polished fraud
A similar story surfaced in Dombivli. A 50-year-old doctor fell into a fake investment scheme. Promised 10% to 50% returns. Lost ₹3.47 crore. The common thread? Trust misplaced. Time-starved doctors. Criminals who know doctors don’t second-guess.
In clinics doctor detect illness in life they miss red flags
Doctors see signs of disease in minutes. But outside the clinic, they forget to look for signs of manipulation. That’s why these frauds work. Because doctors carry emotional weight. Because the world sees them as soft targets with solid savings.
