Cops to expand probe after after AIIMS student's arrest
Jaipur: City police Sunday said they are investigating the possibility of a larger exam cheating racket following the arrest of a final-year MBBS student from AIIMS Jodhpur, a medical intern, and an ayurvedic practitioner in connection with the NEET-UG 2020 impersonation case. The accused include Sachin Gaura (22), a student of AIIMS Jodhpur, Ajit Gaura (30), a medical intern at a govt college in Bharatpur, and Subhash Saini (33), an ayurvedic practitioner who has a prior record of cheating and impersonation-related offences. They were arrested on June 6. Police said Sachin allegedly paid Rs 60 lakh to Saini to facilitate the scheme, which helped him bypass the competitive entrance process and secure admission at AIIMS. The admit card for the NEET UG 2020 exam carried Ajit's photograph instead of Sachin's, allowing another individual, likely Ajit, to appear for the exam on his behalf. Sachin went on to secure 667 marks, helping him to take admission with an All-India Rank of 1,443. DCP (West) Amit Kumar said the role of Saini is central to the case and that his network of accomplices is currently being tracked. "We want to ascertain whether there are others who aided Saini and if this group was involved in similar impersonation cases in the past," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Casablanca: Beautiful New Senior Apartments with Two Bedrooms Senior Apartments | Search Ads Search Now Undo He was accused of charging large sums of money to guarantee NEET clearance, although the exam was eventually cancelled.

NEET 2020 Fraud: AIIMS Student Nabbed In Dummy Candidates Scam Just Before Graduation
Last Updated: AIIMS Jodhpur student Sachin Gora was arrested for using a dummy candidate in the NEET-UG 2020 exam. Just months before completing his MBBS from AIIMS Jodhpur, a student was arrested on Friday for allegedly using a dummy candidate to appear in the NEET-UG 2020 examination, as reported by PTI. According to Rajasthan Police, the student, Sachin Gora, and another doctor have been arrested in the case, while a third doctor, currently serving as a health officer in Ghatwa, Nagaur, has been detained. Jaipur Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Amit Kumar stated that a complaint from the National Testing Agency (NTA), New Delhi, revealed that Sachin, who scored 667 marks, never appeared for the exam himself. Instead, a dummy candidate wrote the test on his behalf, reported PTI. The investigation found that Dr Ajit Gora's photo was used on Sachin's admit card. Ajit, who completed his MBBS from Bharatpur Medical College, is currently undergoing a one-year internship. Sachin is now in the final year of his MBBS course at AIIMS Jodhpur. Officials say the fraud was facilitated by Dr Subhash Saini, the health officer in Ghatwa, who allegedly took a payment to arrange the impersonation. A deal of Rs 60 lakh was reportedly fixed to clear the entrance exam using the dummy candidate. Both Sachin and Ajit have been arrested, while Saini has been detained for questioning. During interrogation, police also discovered that in 2013, Saini had accepted Rs 65 lakh to help another individual pass the NEET-PG exam. At the time, six people were arrested in connection with that case. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Thursday granted permission to the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to conduct the NEET-PG 2025 exam on August 3, stating it was convinced that the reasons provided by the board for selecting the date were genuine. This decision follows the court's earlier order on May 30, which barred the exam from being held in two shifts and directed that it be conducted in a single shift only.

AIIMS student,intern among 3 held for RajNEET fraud
Jaipur: A final-year MBBS student of AIIMS Jodhpur and a medical intern from Bharatpur were among three persons arrested Friday for alleged involvement in a dummy candidate racket in NEET-UG 2020 exam, police said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Jaipur DCP (West) Amit Kumar identified the student as Sachin Gaura (22), intern as Ajit Gaura (30) and the third suspect as Subhash Saini (33). Ajit has completed his MBBS and is interning at Shri Jagannath Pahadia Medical College, Bharatpur, while Saini is posted as a community health officer in Jaipur. All three are residents of Jaipur's Chomu. Sachin allegedly paid Rs 60 lakh to Saini to arrange the impersonation. Saini was previously arrested in a 2013 exam fraud of Rs 65 lakh. Kumar said a case was registered after it emerged that Ajit may have appeared in NEET 2020 in place of Sachin. Sachin's admit card featured Ajit's photograph, and the impersonation helped Sachin to score 667 marks and secure an All-India Rank of 1,443 — good enough for admission to AIIMS Jodhpur. "Ajit had cleared NEET in 2019 after eight years of preparation. Ironically, while he had struggled with backlogs during his MBBS, Sachin, who never took the exam himself, is performing well at AIIMS," DCP Kumar said. The investigators are ascertaining if it was Ajit or someone else who had appeared on behalf of Sachin in the test, Kumar said. Saini, an ayurvedic doctor, allegedly used forged documents and his contacts to facilitate the fraud. The investigators have sought records from National Testing Agency (NTA) — which conducts NEET — AIIMS Jodhpur and Pahadia Medical College. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Last month, cops busted another racket in Jaipur's Chomu involving dummy candidates and hi-tech devices. That case led to the arrests of five people, including two postgraduate students from the National Institute of Ayurveda and a first-year MBBS student from Karnataka allegedly trying to field a dummy candidate in this year's NEET-UG exam. Their plans were foiled by a police raid. "Saini is a habitual offender. We suspect there's a major cheating racket in Chomu given this is the second time in 30 days that we busted another NEET fraud," said an officer.
