The team confirmed that the hospital is run without any government permissions and with fake certificates.
When the Deputy DM&HO enquired for MBBS certificates of Dr Mandava Anil Kumar Choudhary and his colleague Pushpa Choudhary, they were unable to produce the documents.
Padmaja Rani warned them to take government permission within two days or necessary action would be taken against them. But even after 15 days, there was no response from the doctors.
