Police in Nepal say they've arrested 36 people who were working as doctors with fake credentials and education certificates in a sweeping operation across the Himalayan nation.
Central Investigation Bureau official Dibesh Lohani said Monday that those arrested were working in reputed hospitals, health clinics and medical schools.
They were arrested over the last three days and were charged with forgery. They face up to five years in jail if found guilty.
Lohani said that many others are suspected of working as doctors with fake credentials and that the operation would continue.
