NEET 2020 Fraud: AIIMS Student Nabbed In Dummy Candidates Scam Just Before Graduation
AIIMS Jodhpur student Sachin Gora was arrested for using a dummy candidate in the NEET-UG 2020 exam.
Just months before completing his MBBS from AIIMS Jodhpur, a student was arrested on Friday for allegedly using a dummy candidate to appear in the NEET-UG 2020 examination, as reported by PTI.
According to Rajasthan Police, the student, Sachin Gora, and another doctor have been arrested in the case, while a third doctor, currently serving as a health officer in Ghatwa, Nagaur, has been detained.
Jaipur Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Amit Kumar stated that a complaint from the National Testing Agency (NTA), New Delhi, revealed that Sachin, who scored 667 marks, never appeared for the exam himself. Instead, a dummy candidate wrote the test on his behalf, reported PTI.
The investigation found that Dr Ajit Gora's photo was used on Sachin's admit card. Ajit, who completed his MBBS from Bharatpur Medical College, is currently undergoing a one-year internship. Sachin is now in the final year of his MBBS course at AIIMS Jodhpur.
Officials say the fraud was facilitated by Dr Subhash Saini, the health officer in Ghatwa, who allegedly took a payment to arrange the impersonation. A deal of Rs 60 lakh was reportedly fixed to clear the entrance exam using the dummy candidate.
Both Sachin and Ajit have been arrested, while Saini has been detained for questioning. During interrogation, police also discovered that in 2013, Saini had accepted Rs 65 lakh to help another individual pass the NEET-PG exam. At the time, six people were arrested in connection with that case.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Thursday granted permission to the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to conduct the NEET-PG 2025 exam on August 3, stating it was convinced that the reasons provided by the board for selecting the date were genuine. This decision follows the court's earlier order on May 30, which barred the exam from being held in two shifts and directed that it be conducted in a single shift only.
