Hyderabad: Three staff members of a fake ayurveda clinic were arrested in a raid by the west zone task force, at Meridian Plaza in Ameerpet on Saturday night.

Thulasi Ayurvedic Centre was raided for operating without a valid licence with unqualified staff dispensing medicines to patients for various ailments like asthma, kidney stones, cancer, fever and other diseases.
