CB-CID sleuths have detained two people including an LIC agent in connection with the Neet impersonation scam.
Dharmapuri-based LIC agent Murugan and his friend Viswanath, who were nabbed from a hideout in Bengaluru during the search for agent Mohammad Rafi, have been detained in Theni for questioning, police said.
Inquiries revealed that Murugan had helped one MBBS aspirant get admission to a medical college, engaging an impersonator to write Neet on her behalf. The CB-CID had arrested the girl’s mother earlier.
Since the Neet impersonation scam was busted on September 26, the CB-CID arrested at least six parents of MBBS students, five students and two agents so far. One of the students was recently granted anticipatory bail.
Investigation of the sensational case found at least 19 instances where students admitted to medical college were different from those who appeared for Neet. Officers from CBCID, who are investigating the case, said that some of the students had appointed more than one person to write the test from different centres on their behalf. “They used the mark sheet with the highest score for admission,” said a senior police officer. Police booked them under the IPC Sections 120 (B) (conspiracy), 419 (punishment forcheating), 420 (cheating).
