Photographs of candidates, who were engaged as impersonators in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), have been sent to the Medical Council of India (MCI) to verify if they were students of any medical college in the country.
In September this year, the case of a student gaining admission to MBBS at the Government Theni Medical College by engaging an impersonator to clear NEET marked the beginning of a scam in the State. So far, the CB-CID, which is probing the NEET impersonation case, have arrested 12 persons — seven students and their parents. An intermediary (broker) was also arrested, while they are on the lookout for another intermediary, official sources said.
“The CB-CID police have sent a letter along with photographs of candidates, who impersonated in NEET, to MCI. Except for their photographs, we have no names and addresses of these candidates. So, the MCI should verify if these candidates are studying in undergraduate or postgraduate medical courses in any medical college in the country. This is because these candidates have cleared NEET,” an official said. MCI has to send these photographs to colleges to identify if these students were studying at the institutions.
The focus has turned on the impersonators as the police have nabbed almost all students and their parents involved in the case, he said. Most of the impersonators had appeared for the examination in NEET centres outside Tamil Nadu.
PG NEET list
In another development, the CB-CID has sought a list of candidates, who had appeared for NEET PG in the last two years from the Directorate of Medical Education. While the directorate is preparing the list, officials said the police as of now did not suspect impersonation. “The list was sought from the investigation point of view,” the official said.
