City police on Monday arrested an MBBS aspirant who with her father crashed medical counselling with a fake NEET scorecard and went absconding once the fraud came to light.

N B Deeksha of Paramakudi in Ramanathapuram district and her father Dr N K Balachandran, a dentist, had crashed a counselling session on November 30 and sought a seat showing a card with 610 NEET score. The authorities, who noticed discrepancies in records and ranklist, began questioning her and the fraud came to light. Deeksha and her father left the venue and have been in the hiding since.

Deeksha’s original NEET score was 27. Inquiries revealed that she had replaced the photo and roll number of another candidate N Krithika, who had scored 610 marks, and presented the scorecard as her’s.

While her father was arrested two weeks ago, Deeksha was secured from a hotel in the city where she had been staying with her family since the incident. Sources said she confessed to the crime and was remanded in judicial custody on Monday after being produced in front of a magistrate. The Periamet police have booked the duo under sections 419, 464, 465, 468, 47 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
