Man Held For Using Dummy Candidate In NEET-UG Exam 5 Years Into MBBS At AIIMS Jodhpur
Sachin Gora, an AIIMS Jodhpur student, was arrested for allegedly using a "dummy candidate" in his 2020 NEET-UG exam.
Barely months before his MBBS course was to be completed in AIIMS Jodhpur, a man was allegedly found to have paid for a "dummy candidate" in his National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) in 2020, officials said on Friday.
Rajasthan Police has arrested him and a doctor for the fraud. Another doctor working as a health officer in Ghatwa, Nagaur was detained in connection with the case, they said.
Jaipur Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Amit Kumar said a report was received from the National Examination Agency, New Delhi that Sachin Gora who scored 667 marks in NEET UG-2020 never appeared for the exam and used a "dummy candidate".
The DCP said the agency found that the photo of Dr Ajit Gora was used in Sachin's admit card. Sachin is currently a final year student at AIIMS Jodhpur Medical College.
Dr Subhash Saini who now works as a health officer in Ghatwa allegedly involved Ajit in the fraud and took money for it. Ajit is currently doing the compulsory one-year internship after completing his MBBS from Bharatpur Medical College.
As per initial investigation, a deal of Rs 60 lakh was fixed to make the "dummy candidate" clear the test.
Police have arrested Sachin and Ajit and detained Saini.
During interrogation, police said they found that Saini had taken Rs 65 lakh in 2013 to get a person clear the NEET-PG exam. Police had then arrested six people in connection to the case.
