The Chief Minister’s Vigilance Cell arrested Dr. Mridupaban Nath, a former associate professor at Diphu Medical College, in Guwahati on Tuesday, February 18. Nath, who has been under investigation for multiple allegations, was apprehended earlier in the day from Rupnagar.
Dr. Nath faces serious charges, including accumulating disproportionate assets and bigamy. Despite having his medical license revoked by the Assam Council of Medical Registration on July 22, 2023, he continued practicing medicine illegally at Midland Hospital, a private facility in Guwahati.
His first wife filed a complaint at the Bhangagarh police station accusing him of marrying a second woman without legally divorcing her. Meanwhile, a case related to disproportionate assets was registered by the CM Vigilance, prompting a raid at his residence where lakhs in cash were seized.
After a month-long investigation, authorities arrested Nath and confiscated his Audi vehicle (AS25 F8931), believed to be linked to the case. He was earlier arrested in a separate case registered at Mangaldoi police station and was found to be a shareholder in JSM Nursing Home in Mangaldoi.
The investigation into Dr. Nath’s activities is ongoing, with further legal action expected.
