Indore,—In a twist that could only happen in the wild world of job hunting, a man posing as a world-renowned cardiologist allegedly sent his resume to an Indore-based employment firm not once, not twice, but three times between 2020 and 2024, claiming he’d performed enough heart surgeries to personally fix every ticker in a small country. Narendra Yadav, alias Narendra John Camm, was arrested this week in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, for forgery and other charges after seven patients mysteriously died at a missionary hospital in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, where he’d been moonlighting as a “doctor.”
Pankaj Soni, director of the consultancy firm, told reporters he nearly spit out his chai when he first saw Camm’s resume in 2020. “This guy claimed he had degrees from every prestigious medical school on the planet—India, Britain, America, Germany, Spain, France, probably Narnia too,” Soni said. “He said he’d worked at top hospitals worldwide but was inexplicably desperate for a gig in small-town India. It was like Elon Musk applying to manage a an Indian roadside chai stall.”
Soni said Camm’s resume raised red flags thicker than an ugly triple bypass scar. The nine-page document—because apparently one page can’t contain that much genius—boasted that Camm had performed 18,740 coronary angiographies and 14,236 coronary angioplasties, numbers so high they’d require him to operate nonstop since the invention of the stethoscope. “We thought, either this guy’s the Mozart of heart surgery, or he’s making it up,” Soni said. Spoiler: It was the second one.
Camm didn’t stop there. He sent updated resumes in 2023 and 2024, each more audacious than the last, listing a permanent address in Birmingham, Britain, and claiming he was a “senior cardiologist” who’d saved thousands of hearts, including some heartbroken lovers, presumably while also fighting crime in a cloak. One hospital in Burhanpur took one look at the resume and said, “Yeah, no thanks,” prompting Soni’s firm to stop circulating it faster than you can say “malpractice lawsuit.”
The jig was up when authorities sealed the cath lab at Damoh Missionary Hospital and hauled Camm into custody after a complaint from the local Chief Medical and Health Officer. “Seven dead patients in one hospital? That’s not a doctor, that’s a statistical anomaly,” said a police spokesperson, who asked to remain anonymous because they’re “not supposed to sound this sarcastic.”
Camm is now cooling his heels in a cell, facing charges of forgery and embezzlement, while investigators try to figure out how a guy with no verified medical credentials managed to convince anyone he was qualified to touch a scalpel. Meanwhile, Soni’s firm has updated its job application process to include a new question: “Are you secretly a con artist with a fake British accent?”
