Rohtak, Haryana:
A major breakthrough in the ongoing investigation into the MBBS exam scam at Pandit BD Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak (UHSR), has revealed the alleged involvement of a Bachelor of Physiotherapy student. According to police sources, the student reportedly earned over Rs 86 lakh by manipulating exam award lists to help MBBS students from a private college secure passing marks through fraudulent means.
Details of the Scam
The scam, which surfaced earlier this year, centers around the illegal facilitation of passing marks for MBBS students in return for hefty sums of money. During police interrogation, one of the three main accused disclosed that deals were struck with students for Rs 2 lakh per candidate to ensure they passed using what was described as the “direct system.” In one instance, the accused admitted, “I gave him Rs 4.05 lakh and kept Rs 1.95 lakh with me,” referring to the physiotherapy student’s share.
Further revelations indicate that the physiotherapy student was also involved in facilitating the passing of candidates from the 2020 batch. In another deal, the accused claimed to have collected a total of Rs 1 crore from MBBS students belonging to the 2021 and 2022 batches, with the proceeds being equally divided among the conspirators.
Widening Investigation
The scope of the investigation has expanded, with authorities now probing whether similar fraudulent practices have affected other courses beyond MBBS. The involvement of a student from a different discipline has raised concerns about the integrity of the university’s examination system.
In related developments, Rohtak police have arrested two more university employees—programmer Jitender and clerk Sonu—who are accused of leaking MBBS question papers on three occasions in May 2024 in exchange for bribes.
University and Police Response
University officials have yet to release a formal statement on the latest revelations. Meanwhile, the police have intensified their crackdown, with several employees and over 20 MBBS students reportedly under the scanner.
The investigation continues as authorities seek to uncover the full extent of the scam and restore trust in the examination process at UHSR.
