Following this, the District Health Services Officers conducted an investigation into Annadurai, who was undergoing medical treatment, and discovered that he had not studied Ayurveda and that all of the evidence he had was unable to be registered with the Tamil Nadu Siddha Medical Institute.
Tirupur South police arrested the fake doctor Annadurai on the complaint given by the health department officials.
