The Madhya Pradesh court has recently sentenced two government doctors to prison in separate cases for securing medical seats using forged domicile certificates. The MP court has highlighted that such acts not only constitute criminal fraud but also directly deny deserving medical aspirants their rightful opportunities.
Acting on the fraud, on January 30, 2026, the 23rd Additional Sessions Court in Bhopal convicted one doctor for falsely claiming Madhya Pradesh domicile status to obtain admission under the state quota. He was sentenced to three years of rigorous imprisonment under Sections 420, 467, and 468 of the Indian Penal Code, and two years under Section 471, along with fines imposed under each section.
