Dharmapuri college suspends student

03/10/2019, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT ,DHARMAPURI

The Government Dharmapuri Medical College has suspended Mohammad Irfan, a first-year MBBS student hailing from Vaniyambadi, who is under investigation for a suspected act of impersonation in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test.

Dr. Srinivasa Raju, dean of Dharmapuri Medical College Hospital, told The Hindu that the Directorate of Medical Education had recommended the suspension of the student on September 30, and the letter giving effect to the same was prepared the same day. “But since I was summoned to Theni by the CB-CID for deposition, the letter could not be sent on Tuesday. It will be sent on Thursday,” the dean said.

Irfan was among the 100 students admitted to the Dharmapuri Medical College through NEET this year. He went on medical leave on September 8, and did not return until Tuesday, when he surrendered before a court in Salem. On September 23, the medical college started verifying the bona fides of the students in the wake of the impersonation scam.

Irfan’s documents could not be verified due to his absence.
