The Tamil Nadu State Medical Council on Tuesday suspended one Dr Thamizharasi T on charges of impersonation.

Reporting for the Times of India, Pushpa Narayan writes:

The council received complaints from her husband M Karthick and her father-in-law R Manohar that Archana Ramachandran, daughter of a former village administrative officer, had impersonated Thamizharasi Thulukannam, to get a medical seat.

"They have now given us documents that show that Archana had failed her Class 12 board examination and has been living as Thamizharasi with the help of her father, R Ramachandran.Thamizharasi died in 2003...We have decided to debar this doctor because we were convinced that she had impersonated," Tamil Nadu State Medical Council president K Senthil told TOI.

The council also plans to file a police case to further investigate the case.
