Two girls to be tried for cheating at MBBS test

New Delhi: Two girls who allegedly colluded for one of them to impersonate the other to clear a medical course entrance test have been ordered by a Delhi court to be put on trial on charges of cheating and impersonation.

Metropolitan Magistrate Niyay Bindu also ordered the trial of the girls' male accomplice, Krishnandan, who had arranged for Tanuja Kumari to take the common entrance test (CET) of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIP) medical course six years ago in place of applicant Anju Singh for Rs. 1.50 lakh.

“I find that accused Anju, Tanuja and Krishnandan, in collusion with each other, conspired that Tanuja will appear in the examination hall in place of Anju and in pursuance of that conspiracy, Krishnandan took Tanuja to the examination centre so that she could sit in the examination hall in place of Anju who would take the ultimate benefit of this conspiracy,” the court said.

The court asked the accused to appear before it on September 1, 2011, for framing of charges.

As per the prosecution, IP University had conducted a CET on June 15, 2005, and Tanuja, Krishnandan and Anju Singh were caught at the St. Lawrence Convent examination centre in Geeta Colony.

The prosecution said Krishnandan had taken Rs. 1.5 lakh from Anju as illegal gratification.

Tanuja and Krishnandan were caught at the main gate of the examination centre while carrying Anju's documents, including her admit card.

“I find that Anju was the ultimate beneficiary if Tanuja was not caught red-handed at the examination hall in place of accused Anju. So, prima facie, a case is made out against Tanuja, Krishnandan and Anju,” the court said.

Meanwhile, the court discharged another accused, Arun, saying he was found cheating in the examination hall by sending questions and receiving answers through SMS. “In my opinion, this is not an offence punishable under the Indian Penal Code as the university concerned could take appropriate action against him,” the judge said. — PTI
