Bhagat legal suit takes new twist

The case in which medical practitioner Kiran Bhagat has slapped the Botswana Health Professions Council and its committee members with a defamation suit has taken a new twist.

In their pleas before court the council raises very grave questions that openly suggest criminal behaviour on the part of Bhagat. The council states that Bhagat has never been registered with the council even though he has been practicising medicine in the country. A shade worse, the council alleges that Bhagat has been impersonating someone else in his quest to be registered and has been using a certificate that does not belong to him to practice.
