Lotha Doctors Forum slams Albert P Lotha for fraudulent medical practice

Published on May 3, 2025

DIMAPUR — The Lotha Doctors Forum (LDF) condemned Albert P Lotha for falsely posing as an MBBS doctor and illegally treating patients at a medical hall in Dimapur.
In a press statement, the LDF stated that this appalling act of impersonation is not only a serious criminal offence but also a blatant threat to public health and safety.
“Upon careful verification, the Lotha Doctors Forum confirms that Mr. Albert P Lotha is not a qualified medical doctor, nor has he ever been affiliated with the Lotha Doctors Forum or its Dimapur unit. He holds no medical registration or professional license and has fraudulently misled patients into trusting him with their health,” the statement read.
Stating that what is equally alarming is his deliberate misuse of the Lotha tribal identity, the forum noted that Albert's father is of Bengali origin and is married to a Lotha woman. It added that, while they uphold the dignity of inter-community families, it is entirely unacceptable for Albert to misrepresent himself as a full-fledged member of the Lotha community for personal gain.

“By falsely using the Lotha surname to cover his deceitful and illegal practices, Mr. Albert has deeply dishonoured both the medical profession and the Lotha community. The Lotha Doctors Forum views this act as a betrayal of public trust, a grave violation of medical ethics, and a disgraceful stain on our community's name,” it said, maintaining that such fraudulent impersonation cannot be taken lightly and must be met with strict and exemplary action.
The LDF urged the concerned authorities to initiate the strongest legal proceedings against Albert under all applicable sections of the law and take urgent measures to prevent such impersonators from endangering public lives in the future.
“We reaffirm our commitment to upholding ethical medical practice, protecting the dignity of the Lotha community, and ensuring that such frauds are brought to justice without delay,” it concluded.
