Medical student’s career in jeopardy
BMCRI told to lodge police complaint for submission of fake disability certificate
A medical student, who was supposed to graduate in 2017-18. is now in trouble for submitting a fake disability certificate to obtain the seat.
The Medical Education Department has asked Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI) to lodge a police complaint against her and her father, who is a doctor at BMCRI.
The girl had obtained a medical seat under the government quota in 2012-2013 through counselling conducted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA).
A investigation by KEA revealed that Mahesh Babu, an ENT specialist at BMCRI, helped his daughter obtain a seat under the physically disabled quota. The girl had been examined by a panel of three doctors, which included her father.
“The KEA had received complaint in 2014 and cancelled the seat in April 2017 after an investigation. Based on this, we have ordered action and will also probe this internally to decide what action should be initiated against Dr. Babu after serving a show-cause notice,” an official said.
Dr. Babu said he had not received a show-cause notice and refused to discuss the matter.
