MCI orders suspension of Medical College Dean for Impersonation, fake documentation

The committee found the name of Dr Nookala Sunil Kumar listed as faculty member of Narayana Medical College, Nellore, in an inspection on September 27, 2014, and as a member of the Melmaruvathur college the next month. As reported by MD team earlier, a faculty cannot be associated with two medical colleges for the same academic year, leading to a violation of the medical ethics.

Further investigation into the matter, revealed that the faculty had no association with the said college, and his name had been used and documents forged for the purpose of investigation.

" As the head of the institution, the dean of the college would be held accountable and liable for the violation of Medical Ethics," explained Dr Senthil, President, Tamil Nadu Medical council

As per the MCI directions, the dean is now facing a suspension of upto three years. While the MCI has now now written to the Tamil Nadu Medical Council, for initiating the action, the state medical council is expected to make a move in the coming few days.
