In a case echoing the popular Bollywood film 'Munnabhai MBBS', a medical student reportedly impersonated another candidate in the NEET-UG 2023 examination, facilitating illegal admission into an MBBS program.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed charges against Vikash from Rajasthan and Praveen Godara from Jodhpur for their roles in the fraudulent scheme. Vikash, while in his second year at Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Medical College, is accused of forging Godara's handwriting and signature during the exam.
The CBI has invoked multiple charges including criminal conspiracy, cheating by impersonation, and forgery against the duo, emphasizing the severe legal repercussions of such acts. The NEET-UG exam, a crucial gateway for medical course admissions, demands stringent oversight to maintain its integrity.
