Further, LDF expressed shock over his deliberate misuse of the Lotha tribal identity. \u201cIt has come to our notice that Mr. Albert\u2019s father is of Bengali origin and is married to a Lotha woman,\u201d LDF said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>LDF said it upheld the dignity of inter-community families. However, the forum said it was \u201centirely unacceptable\u201d for Albert to misrepresent himself as a full-fledged member of the Lotha community for personal gain. It said that by falsely using the Lotha surname to cover his deceitful and illegal practices, Albert has deeply dishonoured both the medical profession and the Lotha community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>LDF said it viewed his act as a betrayal of public trust, a grave violation of medical ethics, and a disgraceful stain on Lotha community\u2019s name. It said that such fraudulent impersonation cannot be taken lightly and must be met with strict and exemplary action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Therefore, LDF has urged the responsible authorities to initiate the strongest legal proceedings against Albert under all applicable section of laws and take urgent measures to prevent such impersonators from endangering public lives in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The forum also reaffirmed its commitment to upholding ethical medical practice, protecting the dignity of the Lotha community, and ensuring that such frauds are brought to justice without delay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lotha Doctors Forum (LDF) has strongly condemned one Albert P Lotha, who was caught falsely posing as an MBBS doctor and illegally treating patients at a medical hall in Dimapur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[679],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-485657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-nagaland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485657\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
