Woman posing as doctor held at DMCH

The detainee is Monika Akter Mitu, 32. The ID card she was carrying bore the name “Nupur Islam Jannat,” which was later confirmed to be fake.

The incident occurred around 2:00pm when students found Mitu inside the female common room of the DMC wearing a doctor’s apron and carrying a stethoscope.

They interrogated her following her suspicious behaviour. As she failed to provide satisfactory answers, they detained her and informed the authorities, who later handed her over to police.

During primary interrogation, the detainee said she hails from Tongibari in Munshiganj and had discontinued her studies after passing SSC. She reportedly started visiting the DMCH campus about a month ago out of a desire to become a doctor.

She also admitted to using a fake identity card made in Nilkhet and operating under the alias “Nupur Islam Jannat.” She said she is active on social media platform TikTok.

According to DMCH sources, her suspicious movements over the past month had drawn the attention of several students. On Tuesday, they confronted her and detained her when her responses raised further suspicion, reports UNB.

Sub-Inspector Md Rezaul Karim of Shahbagh Police Station said they took her into custody. An apron, a stethoscope and the fake ID card were recovered from her possession.
