Examination malpractice: 45 doctors given charge sheet
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI:
Fifty-two persons, including 45 doctors, charged with indulging in malpractices in the all-India entrance examination for admission to post-graduate medical courses, were given copies of charge sheet by a special court here on Tuesday.
In all, 4,188 persons appeared for the examinations in Tamil Nadu on January 8, 2006.
The prosecution case is that question papers were scanned using a `docupen' and given to persons waiting outside the halls.
The contents were then downloaded and printouts taken to enable preparation of answers, which were later sent to the candidates on mobile phones.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), probing the case, arrested the doctors and recovered parts of pen scanners along with cash during probe.
According to the CBI, the accused received amounts ranging from Rs. 2 lakh to 10 lakh from candidates to ensure that they came within the top 100 ranks in the merit list.
On Tuesday, Special Judge N. Velu furnished copies to the accused and adjourned the case to April 10.
