NEET impersonation case transferred to CB-CID

Chennai:24.09.2019

After efforts to trace first year medical student K V Udit Suriya, who was booked on charges of impersonation and conspiracy, fell flat, the Theni district police said they received orders from director general of police J K Tripathi for transferring the case to the CB-CID.

Police said the medico has not been attending classes and was not on campus.

“We have sent a team to search for him in Chennai. Inquiry with Udit is now crucial. We will have to find the other person who wrote the NEET examination. We need information about people involved in the entire network,” Theni superintendent of police V Baskaran said.

“This involves work in Chennai, Mumbai and other cities. We may not be able to do all that from here,” Baskaran said.

Last week, based on a complaint from Theni Medical College dean Dr A K Rajendran, police booked Udit Suriya for impersonation, forging documents and conspiracy.

Inquiries by the college and police revealed that the photos of the medico in the college application form and the NEET 2019 scorecard did not match the identity of the student attending classes.

During inquiry, police had found that Udit Surya had attempted to pursue medicine in Russia, but discontinued.

Meanwhile, deans of various medical colleges verified records of all students who joined the 23 state-run medical colleges in 2019 and reported to the directorate of medical education that photos on documents such as admit cards and NEET scorecards matched that of the students attending MBBS classes in government colleges.

“Every college appointed a committee under the vice-principal to scrutinise the documents and carry out physical verification of students. As of now, we see no more cases of impersonation across our colleges,” said director of medical education Dr R Narayanababu.

Udit Suriya’s father Dr V K Venkatesh, who told TOI on Wednesday that his son wrote the NEET exam in Mumbai and that someone had changed the photographs on his scorecards, could not be reached since then.

Venkatesh, an ENT specialist and casualty medical officer at Government Stanley Medical College and Hospital, had last week said that Udit Suriya had appeared for the NEET examination in Mumbai this year as he had failed to clear it twice earlier from Chennai.

Udit Suriya has moved the Madras high court seeking anticipatory bail.

The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University had also asked self-financing colleges to verify documents of all the students.

“A Trichy-based hospital has confirmed there are no cases and other hospitals are checking their documents,” said a senior university official.
