Probe ordered into Kerala medical college scam

29/02/2020, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT ,KOCHI

The Kerala High Court has ordered a Crime Branch probe into complaints that the management of the Dr. Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College, Karakkonam, cheated several people and collected huge sums by offering admissions.

It was on a batch of petitions from the parents of some students that the court ordered the probe.

Though the police had registered cases against college director Bennett Abraham and CSI moderator Bishop A. Dharmmaraj Rasalam in three police stations, the investigation did not progress as the accused were very influential people, according to the petitioners.

‘Huge amounts taken’

They submitted that the accused, who are the college authorities, took huge amounts from them and others promising to give MBBS admission to their wards in the medical college and cheated them.

When the college authorities failed to give admission, the petitioners demanded their money back. However, it was not returned, they submitted.

The court directed that the cases registered in different police stations be transferred to the agency.
