Govt officials among 35 booked by CBI in medical college graft case
Hyderabad/Mumbai The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case against officials of the Union health ministry, National Medical Commission, intermediaries and representatives of private medical colleges in connection with alleged irregularities and corruption during the mandatory inspections of private medical colleges. Govt officials among 35 booked by CBI in medical college graft case The first information report, which was registered by the CBI on June 30 and came to light on Thursday, named 35 people, including former University Grants Commission chair and Tata Institute of Social Sciences Chairman DP Singh, Gitanjali University Registrar Mayur Raval, Rawatpura Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Chairman Ravi Shankar ji Maharaj and Index Medical College Chairman Suresh Singh Bhadoria, officials familiar with the matter were quoted as saying by news agency PTI. The accused were booked under Section 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. In the FIR, which was seen by HT, the CBI charged the accused of being part of a deep-rooted criminal conspiracy in the unauthorised sharing of classified regulatory information, manipulation of statutory inspection processes, and widespread bribery to secure favourable treatment for private institutions. The CBI said it had received reliable information that certain officials associated with the Union ministry of health and family welfare, and the National Medical Commission (NMC) have allegedly facilitated unauthorized access to and unlawful duplication and dissemination of confidential files and sensitive information pertaining to the regulatory status and internal processing of medical colleges within the ministry. 'Furthermore, they have been involved in manipulating the statutory inspection process conducted by the NMC by pre-emptively disclosing the inspection schedules and identities of the designated assessors to the concerned medical institutions, well in advance of the official communication,' the central agency said in the FIR. Such prior disclosures enabled the medical colleges to orchestrate fraudulent arrangements, including the bribing of assessors to secure favourable inspection reports, deployment of non-existent or proxy faculty and admission of fictitious patients to artificially project compliance during inspections. 'They were also found tampering with the biometric attendance systems to falsify faculty presence records,' the FIR said. The officials of the Union health ministry were misusing their official access by locating and tracking relevant files within the ministry and capturing photographs of internal notes and comments made by senior ministry officials. 'These images are then being shared through personal mobile devices with private individuals and representatives of medical colleges, thereby violating official secrecy protocols and compromising the integrity of the regulatory process,' the FIR said.

Govt officials among 34 booked by CBI for manipulating regulatory framework for medical colleges
The CBI has busted a network of officials of Union health ministry, National Medical Commission, intermediaries and representatives of private medical colleges allegedly involved in a litany of "egregious" acts, including corruption and unlawful manipulation of the regulatory framework governing medical colleges, officials said. The CBI has busted a network allegedly involved in a litany of "egregious" acts. (Representative image) The agency has named 34 people in an FIR, including eight health ministry officials, a National Health Authority official and five doctors who were part of the National Medical Commissioner (NMC) inspection team. Tata Institute of Social Sciences Chairman D P Singh, Gitanjali University Registrar Mayur Raval, Rawatpura Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Chairman Ravi Shankar ji Maharaj and Index Medical College Chairman Suresh Singh Bhadoria have also been named in the FIR. According to the officials, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) recently arrested eight people in the case. These include three doctors of the NMC team who were arrested for allegedly taking a bribe of ₹55 lakh for giving a favourable report to the Naya Raipur-based Rawatpura Institute of Medical Sciences and Research. The syndicate has its roots in the Union health ministry, where eight accused officials ran the sophisticated scheme facilitating unauthorised access, illegal duplication and dissemination of highly confidential files and sensitive information to representatives of medical colleges through a network of intermediaries in exchange for huge bribes, the CBI FIR alleged. It alleged that the officials, in collusion with the intermediaries, manipulated the statutory inspection process conducted by the NMC by disclosing inspection schedules and identities of the designated assessors to the medical institutions concerned well in advance of the official communication. The CBI has named the Union health ministry's Poonam Meena, Dharamvir, Piyush Malyan, Anup Jaiswal, Rahul Srivastava, Deepak, Manisha and Chandan Kumar as accused in the FIR. They allegedly located files and clicked photographs of notings and comments made by senior officers. This critical information pertaining to the regulatory status and internal processing of medical institutions in the ministry gave an alarming degree of leverage to colleges, allowing them to orchestrate elaborate deceptions to hoodwink the inspection process, according to the CBI. "Such prior disclosures have enabled medical colleges to orchestrate fraudulent arrangements, including the bribing of assessors to secure favourable inspection reports, the deployment of non-existent or proxy faculty (ghost faculty), and the admission of fictitious patients to artificially project compliance during inspections, and tampering with the biometric attendance systems to falsify," the FIR said. The agency has mentioned bribes running into lakhs of rupees being exchanged between NMC teams, intermediaries and representatives of medical colleges, being routed through hawala and used for multiple purposes, including the one in the name of construction of a temple.

Thieves Allegedly Used Pythons to Rob Gas Station
Tennessee police are searching for several suspects who allegedly robbed a convenience store using pythons. Last week, Madison County police released CCTV footage of the suspects and their vehicle on Instagram. The unbelievable photos and video show the suspects, sans facial coverings, recklessly wielding the pythons and using them to threaten the cashier. Police are searching for two males and two females who allegedly entered a local Citgo station on March 4 and used the pythons to steal CBD oil 'valued at $400.' Mayur Raval, the cashier glimpsed in the security footage, told local outlet WREG that he was working with his brother when the alleged thieves entered the store. As it so happens, Raval has a paralyzing fear of snakes. (It's not clear if the suspects were aware of this.) 'They were just waving them around and putting them on the counter. One person brought in one snake first, and then after that, he brought in another snake,' Raval said of the peculiar scene. 'One [snake] is white, and one is brown or a mix.'In the ensuing terror and confusion, Raval claims the snake handlers were able to steal the CBD off the counter in front of him. He believes they would have taken more if not for the high number of customers in the store at the time. 'They pulled their car up to the front of the door,' Raval recalled. 'I think they planned to successfully come here and rob the store. The snake is a weapon, you know.' Several days after the Citgo station incident, 26-year-old Reginald Cook was arrested and charged with two accounts of attempted aggravated robbery after he entered a nearby Shell station with a five-foot snake wrapped around his neck and demanded money from the cashier. Police believe Cook was involved in both incidents, but they are still searching for the other three suspects.
