Guwahati, Jun 4 : At least 10 MBBS students currently studying in various Assam medical colleges had engaged dummy candidates to appear for them in the combined entrance examination of 2005-’06, the CID said today.
This shocking piece of information came a day after the investigating agency arrested a fourth semester student of Assam Medical College and Hospital in Dibrugarh, Atikul Hussain, with his father and sister, on charges of hiring a youth to write the entrance examination for Atikul in 2006.The answerscripts of the 10 students who allegedly used impersonators to write their entrance exams to Gauhati, Dibrugarh and Silchar medical colleges have been sent to the forensic science laboratory for “matching”, a CID official said.
“All of them (the 10) will be formally arrested very soon on completion of the necessary formalities,” inspector-general of police (CID) Dilip Kumar Bora said.
Atikul’s arrest yesterday was the outcome of a CID investigation into alleged anomalies in the medical entrance examination in the state.
“Atikul’s father Afzal had paid Rs 2 lakh to one Kundan Kumar of Bihar for writing the exams for his son while his sister Afrina has established the link with the racket,” a source said.
Afrina was a classmate of Mahboob Alam, who was arrested by the CID with two other students of Assam Veterinary College, Shimanta Kumar Singh and Rakesh Kumar Sarma on June 13 last year on charges of running a “dummy candidate racket”.
“Afrina struck a deal with Kundan Kumar through Alam to sit for her brother in the exam. After Kumar wrote the exam for Atikul and he cleared the test, Afzal paid Rs 2 lakh to Alam,” the CID officer said.
Kundan is absconding.
The Hussains, who are residents of Hatigaon, have been booked under Sections 419, 420 and 120 (B) of the IPC.
Atikul and Afzal, who is a retired employee of State Co-operative Marketing and Consumers Federation Limited (Statfed), were remanded in five days’ CID custody while Afrina was sent to judicial custody after being produced in the court today.
Twenty-eight persons have been arrested by the CBI in this connection so far.
The state government handed over the case to the CID in 2006 after receiving a large number of complaints about anomalies in the medical entrance examination.
