City cops book another in NEET 2020 dummy racket
Jaipur: City police made further progress in their investigation into the NEET-UG 2020 dummy candidate racket and booked another suspect, identified as Ashok Saini, for alleged involvement in the exam fraud. Deputy commissioner of police (west) Amit Kumar stated that Ashok Saini was a close associate of Ayurveda practitioner Subhash Saini, who has already been arrested in the case. Kumar said digital evidence recovered during the probe established Ashok's active role in the racket. "He worked in close coordination with Subhash and was instrumental in arranging dummy candidates for the NEET exam," Kumar said. Police had earlier arrested three individuals: Sachin Gaura (22), a student at AIIMS Jodhpur; Ajit Gaura (30), a student at a medical college in Bharatpur; and Subhash Saini (33), an Ayurveda practitioner. Investigations revealed that Ajit Gaura appeared in the NEET-UG 2020 exam impersonating Sachin Gaura. Sachin allegedly paid a significant amount of money to Subhash Saini to secure a dummy candidate for the exam. Subhash, in turn, enlisted the help of Ashok Saini to carry out the task. Police sources said Ashok had prior experience in facilitating such fraudulent activities. Ashok's role, though previously under the radar, came to light during the interrogation of Subhash, who disclosed their collaboration in arranging dummy candidates.

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.
