Amid the coronavirus outbreak, The Uttar Pradesh Police have arrested a fake Godman, who proclaims himself as “Corona Wale Baba”.
The fake godman was identified as Ahmad Siddiqui, who claims that he has a cure for the deadly coronavirus. He misleads those who are not aware of how to take precautions to prevent coronavirus disease.
It has been learnt that Ahmad used to misguide people by selling them Tabiz for merely Rs 11 claiming to cure coronavirus. UP Police reportedly received information from the chief medical officer and they immediately arrested Ahmad for fraud and forgery.
Scientists are trying their best to find a complete cure to combat the fast-spreading disease. China too is finding it tough to bring the widespread infectious disease under control. The fake Baba, on the other hand, claimed that he had discovered a cure for COVID-19 that can treat the disease.
