On security guard's complaint, the local police nabbed the accused and booked him under the sections 419 (punishment for cheating by personation) and 472 (making or possessing counterfeit seal, with intent to commit forgery) of the IPC at the Sector 11 police station, reports Hindustan Times.

The accused has been identified as Sumit Kumar, who stays as a paying guest in Kajheri, Sector 52, Chandigarh and hails from Kasumpti, Shimla. As stated in a report in Tribune, the accused is a Class XII pass-out and claimed that he was preparing for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).

This is not the first time that a man has been caught by the PGI. A man was arrested several years ago, who was a doctor in the Labor Department in PGI and used to check the girls, adds the local daily Bhaskar.

Few months ago, Medical dialogues reported that the Delhi police arrested a 19-year-old man, who was impersonating as a junior doctor and a medical student at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
