However, the most cherished reward, according to him, is the admiration of his son, who aspires to enter the same demanding profession, fully aware of the sacrifices it involves. For Dr. Krishnamurthy, this desire from the next generation to continue the legacy of care and compassion stands as a deeply humbling affirmation of his life's Dr. Krishnamurthy serves as a lead consultant and senior interventional cardiologist at KIMS Hospital in Mahadevapura.

FIR against doctor who posed as cardiologist, 5 others
Faridabad: Nearly a month after the complaint was filed, police on Tuesday registered an FIR against the city doctor who was allegedly masquerading as a cardiologist and performed around 50 heart procedures, including critical surgeries, for seven months before the fraud was called out. The FIR also names five officials of the heart care centre at BK Civil Hospital, where the doctor -- Pankaj Mohan Sharma – was working as a cardiologist. It includes Dr N Pratap Kumar, CMD of Mediterina Hospital, which runs the heart care centre at the civil hospital in a public-private partnership mode. Others are Dalip Nayyar, head of corporate HR at the facility; Ajay Sharma, head of the Haryana centre; Piyush Srivastava, financial manager; and Mandip, centre head. The accused, Faridabad police spokesperson Yashpal Singh said on Thursday, have been charged under sections 125 (endangering life or personal safety), 318(4) (cheating), 319 (cheating by personation), 336 (3) (forgery), 338 (forgery of valuable security), 340 (forged documents or electronic records) and 61 (criminal conspiracy) of BNS.

"Investigation is ongoing," the spokesperson said. Asked about the delay, police said they were waiting for a detailed report and documents linked to Dr Sharma from the civil surgeon's office before proceeding with the FIR. According to the FIR, hospital officials were aware that Sharma, though a qualified doctor, was not authorised to perform surgeries, but they permitted him to do so anyway. The case came to police on April 11, when lawyer and activist Sanjay Gupta filed a complaint that Dr Pankaj Sharma had forged documents to show that he had a DNB (Diplomate of National Board) in cardiology, a degree equivalent to that of an MD. "The hospital management continued to employ an unqualified and fraudulent doctor who lacks any degree or recognised specialisation in cardiology. Dr Sharma falsely claimed qualifications of MD and DNB (cardiology)," Gupta said in the complaint. He also alleged in the complaint that Dr Sharma had killed three patients. After preliminary investigation, police also found that Dr Sharma was fraudulently using the identity and registration number of a legitimate practising cardiologist in the city – Dr Pankaj Mohan. It turned out that Dr Mohan got whiff of the fraud months before the police complaint. In Jan this year, he had approached the Indian Medical Association and accused Dr Sharma of illegally using his credentials. Dr Mohan also issued a legal notice to Dr Sharma. The MBBS doctor, who was hired by Mediterina Hospital in July 2024, stopped reporting to the heart care centre from Feb after he was asked to produce his medical degree. "Many patients began enquiring about him and eventually visited the real Dr Pankaj Mohan. When Dr Mohan clarified that he had never worked at the heart centre, the allegations became obvious," a doctor at BK Civil Hospital told TOI.
