Investigation into the NEET impersonation case at the Theni medical college is set to shift to Mumbai as the arrested father-son duo have told the police that they paid ₹20 lakh to an agent to get another teenager to write the test for Udit Surya. Udit and his father, Dr K S Venkatesh, were picked up from a Tirupati hotel on Wednesday and sent in judicial remand on Thursday.
The CB-CID police would now focus on tracing the impersonator and an agent based in Mumbai. Police sources said Venkatesh had revealed some details of how he went about hiring another youngster to write the NEET for his son. If needed, the CB-CID police planned to take Venkatesh to Mumbai to help nab the agent and the impersonator.
A CB-CID officer said, “We will circulate the photograph of the suspect who appeared for the exam for Udit Surya through all media in Mumbai to collect details of him too.”
Speaking on condition of anonymity a few doctors who knew Venkatesh said some NEET coaching centres based in Chennai had told him Udit Surya hadn’t done well in the mock tests they conducted and told him how to hire an impersonator. The police nabbed Udit Surya and his parents from a hotel in Tirupati on Wednesday and took them to Theni. After questioning them for hours, the police arrested the student and his father while letting his mother, Kayal Vizhi, go free.
The CB-CID said Udit Surya and his father admitted to having engaged an impersonator to write the NEET examination. Their statements were recorded and videographed for future reference. The CB-CID questioned Udit Surya and his father to know more about the impersonator.
Father, son didn’t give proper reply
However, the duo didn’t give any proper reply. The father and son were remanded in judicial custody after being produced before a magistrate court. Udit Surya, a firstyear medical student at Government Theni Medical College, has been booked for impersonation in NEET, which is the sole exam for medical admission. The photos of the student on the college application and the NEET 2019 scorecard did not match, triggering an alert.
