Many people face sexual health worries they feel too embarrassed to discuss. In that silence, quick-fix promises begin to look convincing. Claims of guaranteed cures often seem easier than a proper medical process.
Scamsters understand this mix of shame and urgency. They use it to target people who are desperate for help and scared of judgment.
In Bengaluru, a software engineer working with Capgemini was allegedly cheated of ₹48 lakh after approaching an “Ayurvedic Dawakhana” for better sexual performance. The healer, identified as Vinay (or Vijay) Guruji in reports, allegedly sold costly “rare” herbal medicines and demanded cash payments.
He reportedly pushed the victim to keep buying more in the name of completing the treatment. The man is also said to have developed kidney complications. A police case has been registered and the prime accused is currently absconding.
This incident highlights how stigma around sexual health creates a quiet market for unregulated cures. Roadside or informal “dawakhana” setups offering instant results thrive because many fear judgment in proper clinics.
While legal action begins only after the damage is done, a bigger shift is needed. Normalising conversations about sexual health, monitoring misleading advertisements and enforcing stricter checks on such centres are essential. Science-based medical care remains the safest choice against fraud and long-term harm.
