Foreign Apps, Sexual Training With People From 56 Countries, Three Girlfriends: How a Shamli Physiotherapist Fell Into Crime

The arrest of a physiotherapist in Uttar Pradesh’s Shamli district has exposed a disturbing mix of greed, fake identity, digital crime and medical fraud—far beyond a routine theft case.

The accused, Asif Ali, son of Sharafat Ali and a resident of Bhura Khurd village, ran a physiotherapy clinic in the area and projected himself as a well-educated and successful medical professional. However, police investigations have revealed a far more alarming reality behind this carefully constructed image.

Shocking Revelations During Interrogation

During police questioning, Asif made startling disclosures. He admitted that for nearly a month, he had been using foreign mobile applications to participate in online sexual training sessions with people from 56 different countries. These sessions reportedly involved discussions on sexual drugs and sexual practices, and Asif allegedly recorded several of these interactions.

Police have recovered a large number of obscene videos from his mobile phone. Authorities are now investigating whether this activity was part of a larger international digital network.

False Medical Claims and Illegal Practice

The seriousness of the case escalated when Additional Superintendent of Police Sumit Shukla, during a press briefing, revealed that Asif falsely claimed to perform surgeries, including kidney stone operations, while posing as a physiotherapist.

According to police, Asif admitted that he would tell patients he performed up to four operations a month—despite having no valid medical license, no surgical training, and no legal authorization to carry out such procedures. These claims put several patients’ lives at serious risk.

From Clinic to Crime

Asif claimed to have obtained a degree from Capital University, Jharkhand, and later opened a private physiotherapy clinic near his village. During treatment sessions, he came into contact with three young women from nearby villages. What began as professional interaction gradually turned into friendships and then romantic relationships.

Maintaining three relationships simultaneously, coupled with expensive habits, frequent travel, and a lavish lifestyle, put him under financial pressure.

Greed Leads to Theft

To meet his rising expenses, Asif teamed up with his friend Sachin, a resident of Saharanpur, and chose a criminal path. On the night of December 8, the duo targeted the Banat Community Health Centre, a government hospital.

They stole 24 costly medical devices, including nebulizer machines, an LED television, meters, and other hospital equipment.

Caught on Camera

Following a complaint from the hospital administration, police launched an investigation. CCTV footage, mobile location tracking, and technical evidence led authorities directly to Asif and Sachin.

Both accused were arrested, and police recovered the stolen medical equipment, the car used in the crime, and mobile phones linked to the illegal activities.

Ongoing Investigation

Police officials stated that further investigation is underway to determine whether others were involved in the digital sexual training network and to verify the authenticity of Asif’s claimed educational qualifications.

The case stands as a stark warning about fake medical practitioners, unchecked digital platforms, and the dangerous consequences of deception driven by greed.
