PGI admission scam

Bangalore-based doc held

Chandigarh, October 6
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today arrested a Bangalore-based doctor in connection with doctors’ admission scam that rocked the PGI last year. The CBI arrested Dr Rajnikant, who is a doctor in Bangalore Medical College, for impersonating in the exam in place of Dr Amit Musle. The accused was arrested last night.
Amit Musle, along with another student, had procured admission to the PGIMER on the basis of impersonation and manipulation.
The accused doctor was produced in court and sent to judicial custody. A case under Sections 120B, 419, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been registered against the accused.
The scam came to light in September last year when the CBI had arrested Dr Amit Musale, a resident of Nagpur, and Dr Sujay Sonawane, a resident of Maharashtra, for procuring admission in the PGI on the basis of impersonation. The two had cleared the exam with the help of mastermind Mumbai-based agent Gaurav Shaleen, who had arranged imperosnators for them. Gaurav Shaleen has been arrested by the CBI.
Dr Amit was pursuing post graduation in pharmacology, while Dr Sujay had secured admission in paediatrics when the CBI arested them. The investigating agency managed to arrest the impersonator doctor today following disclosures by the prime accused Gaurav Shaleen.
