Fraudster Was Caught Once Earlier

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Chennai/Madurai:21.09.2019

Nearly 10 days before the Theni Medical College dean filed complaint against a first year MBBS student for impersonation, his counterpart in Madurai had flagged another student who had come to the college with a fake allotment order of the New Delhi-based Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).

On September 10, more than a month after the college closed admissions to the 250 MBBS seats at Madurai Medical College, one Riyas from Andhra Pradesh came to the college clutching an ‘allotment order’ by the MCC. Medical college dean Dr K Vanitha, who became suspicious, informed the Tallakulam police. While at least two other candidates, who too had come with similar admission orders, managed to flee before the police arrived, Riyas was detained for inquiry.

Riyas told police that he did not clear the NEET-2019 examination, but one Vickram Singh from New Delhi told him that he could get him a seat in a medical college for a payment of ₹40 lakh. “His parents had negotiated with Vickram Singh and paid Rs6 lakh in three instalments. After payment of ₹4 lakh, Riyas was handed over a ‘copy’ of an ‘allotment order’. The ‘order’ was handed over to him at the Madurai airport,” police said. At least 60 students were cheated by Singh, according to statement from Riyas.

Meanwhile, more information about the Theni college impersonator has tumbled out. It is not the first time K V Udit Surya is being sent out of a medical school. In November 2016, the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University refused to register his name, as he had joined the course without clearing NEET that year. In February 2017, the Medical Council of India had also directed the dean of Ponniyah Ramajayam Insititute of Medical Science to discharge Udit Suriya and 35 other students of the college, who had joined the course without NEET qualification.

On Friday, all medical colleges – government and private – under the state medical university have been asked to verify whether the students who have been given admission are the same ones attending the classes. Some colleges said they had already verified the documents and the students.



Udit Surya moves HC for bail

Madurai: The first year MBBS student of Theni Medical College and suspected NEET impersonator, K V Udit Suriya, has moved Madras high court for anticipatory bail apprehending arrest in connection with the case. He claimed that the two images — one in his college identity card and the other found on NEET marksheet and admit card — appeared different because of lighting during photo session. He said that he had severe psychiatric issues. TNN
