Dr. Naresh G. Patel, who is accused of providing abortion-inducing drugs to women he knew were not pregnant, is no longer medically licensed in Oklahoma.

A doctor accused of providing abortion-inducing drugs to three undercover investigators who were not actually pregnant can no longer practice medicine in Oklahoma.

Dr. Naresh G. Patel, 62, of Oklahoma City, on Monday agreed not to practice medicine in the state, pending an investigation into the allegations by the state Medical Licensure Board.

Patel was arrested Dec. 9 at his Warr Acres clinic and is charged with one count of racketeering and three counts of obtaining money by false pretenses. Prosecutors allege the women paid Patel $620 each for drugs he knew were not necessary.

Records posted on the Medical Licensure Board website show Patel is no longer able to practice in the state as of Monday.

Patel’s attorney, Mack Martin, declined to comment.

Two weeks after Patel’s arrest, Attorney General Scott Pruitt was critical of the board for not taking immediate action against the doctor. Pruitt’s comments came one day after the board’s deputy director, Reji Varghese, said their laws and rules did not support the use of an emergency hearing to address Patel’s medical license.
