Cousins Qualify For Medical Entrance A Year Apart. Forms Had Same Photo
A Munnabhai MBBS in the making? Two cousins, two years apart ace the tough medical entrance examination or the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and secure admissions. Five years later, it now appears that their admission forms had different names but carried the same picture: of a man in a windowpane blue check shirt. In May this year, the Rajasthan police's Special Investigation Team (SIT) received a written complaint alleging that in the NEET Exam 2020, a clear case of impersonation took place where a doctor who made it to AIIMS Jodhpur actually got there fraudulently by making his cousin sit for the exam instead of him. The SIT has now transferred the case to the Jaipur city police, who say they have a strong suspicion the allegations are true The police have two score cards in front of them, one with Roll no 390361794. This belongs to Ajit Gora and has a photograph of the candidate in a blue check shirt. His result was declared on June 5, 2019, where he scored 578 out of 720 and got an all-India rank of 13718. He is currently studying medicine at a medical college in Bharatpur. The other score card of the NEET exam a year later belongs to Sachin Gora, his cousin, with the Roll No 3901001410. This result was declared on October 16, 2020. He scored 667 out of 720 with a rank of 1443. He is currently studying medicine at AIIMS Jodhpur. What triggered the investigation is that the photographs on both the score cards are of the same person in the same shirt. It appears to be a clear case of impersonation, police sources told NDTV. Both the candidates, Sachin and Ajeet, are being questioned by the police. Sachin was picked up late on Wednesday night from his AIIMS hostel room by a team of the Jaipur police. On the basis of the complaint by Bhinwaram Gaura, who knows both the candidates, the police registered an FIR on May 15 against the two of them. Cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy are the charges levelled against them. They have also been charged under an act passed by the Rajasthan government to prevent use of unfair means in exams. The whistleblower who filed the complaint against the candidates says he wants action against people who become doctors like this and do a great disservice to society by taking away seats meant for deserving candidates. Lawyer for the complainant, Jagdish Kuldeep, told NDTV the police should also investigate if there is a bigger racket behind it.

Rajasthan reports 54 COVID-19 cases, one death; Health Minister urges precaution, says no cause for alarm
Jaipur: Amid rising COVID-19 cases in parts of the country, Rajasthan Health Minister Gajendra Singh said on Friday that the state has reported 54 cases and one death so far. The minister clarified that the death was linked to comorbidities, particularly tuberculosis, and that the current variant in circulation resembles the common flu. "So far, 54 cases have been reported, and one death has occurred. However, the patient was severely affected by tuberculosis. As of now, only one patient is admitted to SMS Hospital--a child infected with the Omicron variant, which is not very serious. It presents symptoms similar to the common flu. There is no cause for concern at the moment. There's no significant spread at the moment, but people are still advised to take necessary precautions," Singh told ANI. According to the Information and Public Relations Department, 15 new cases were reported on Friday--one each from AIIMS Jodhpur, Rabindranath Tagore Medical College (RNT), Sawai Man Singh Medical College (SMS), Rajasthan University of Health Sciences (RUHS), and Government Medical College (GMC), Udaipur. District-wise COVID-19 cases in Rajasthan are: Jaipur - 33, Udaipur - 10, Jodhpur - 8, Bikaner - 5, Didwana - 5, Ajmer - 2, Balotra - 2, Dausa - 1, Phalodi - 1, Sawai Madhopur - 1, and others - 1. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has confirmed that while COVID-19 cases were reported again in parts of the country, the current variants in circulation were showing mild symptoms similar to the Omicron strain. Arjun Dang, Chief Executive Officer of Dr. Dangs Lab, said the rising number of cases was attributed to more transmissible sub-variants. "We must understand that the current spreading variants are again a sublineage of the Omicron virus. Additionally, in states like Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, we have certain other sub-variants that have been named Variants Under Monitoring, and these are basically of two types, LF7 and NV181. Currently, the cases that we are seeing are more transmissible. They can infect people easily, but again, from the severity perspective, till now, we have not seen any severe cases," Dang told ANI.
