To install doctor.
Bhadana has alleged in her complaint that Vashisht has prefixed ‘Dr’ to her name and presenting herself as doctor during the campaigning and “thus fooled the voters”.
“Komal Vashisht who is contesting MCD elections on BJP Ticket from Ward No 22 Rohini-B, has violated model code of conduct and also has committed a criminal breach of trust by adding Dr before her name. She is not a qualified doctor. Only a A qualified doctor such as an MBBS can write Dr before her name,” reads the complaint.
Bhadana said, “Any person who has successfully completed Ph.D on any subject can call him/herself as Dr. But she has no Ph.D degree either.”
“As per information, Komal is only a Dietician. And any dietician cannot add word ‘Dr’ before her name. This is a serious matter as she is fooling the common people who think that she is a doctor and is contesting election. Appropriate action should be taken against her,” read her complaint lodged before returning officer and Delhi Police.
According to the information Komal has done Diploma in Health and Nutrition from IGNOU in 2018.
