Rohtak: A former junior resident doctor at a government medical college has been implicated in the MBBS exam scam that was uncovered earlier this year at Pt BD Sharma University of Health Sciences Rohtak (UHSR). The doctor, an alumnus of a private medical college already under scrutiny, is alleged to have played a key role in facilitating exam fraud.
Doctor’s Name Emerges During Interrogation
Sources said the doctor’s involvement came to light during the interrogation of one of three individuals arrested in February in connection with the scam. At the time of the alleged offence, the doctor was still an MBBS student. Investigators claim that he had approached the accused to ensure that multiple students received passing marks, reportedly at a rate of ₹50,000 per answer sheet.
Answer Sheets Illegally Rewritten and Resubmitted
In a separate disclosure, another accused revealed that several answer sheets—including those of the doctor and two other students—were smuggled out of the university’s secrecy branch with help from a Class IV employee. These answer sheets were allegedly re-attempted with correct answers and later resubmitted to manipulate final marks.
From Beneficiary to Middleman
According to the investigation, the doctor initially used the racket’s services for his own benefit. However, after securing his MBBS degree, he is believed to have transitioned into the role of a middleman, connecting other students to the scam network. He later served for a year as a junior resident at a government medical college.
A senior official at the institution, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the doctor’s employment at the college during the previous year.
Call for Deeper Probe Into Rechecking Allegations
Meanwhile, social activist Deepak Rathee has called on both UHSR and law enforcement to investigate serious allegations made in a complaint filed by an MBBS student earlier this year. The complaint alleged that some students were fraudulently awarded passing marks under the guise of rechecking, and that the award list was manipulated before result declaration in exchange for bribes.
Investigations into the broader scam are ongoing, with over 40 individuals, including students and university staff, already booked in the case.
