MBBS Admission: 7-year Jail to Student Who Submitted Fake SC Certificate
Bhadohi: Punishing a student who had submitted a fake Scheduled Caste (SC) Certificate for securing admission to the MBBS course at Prayagraj's Motilal Nehru Medical College, a local court in Uttar Pradesh recently sentenced a student to seven years of imprisonment.
Apart from this, the Court has also imposed a fine of Rs 11,000 on the student. PTI has reported that the said student, Amit Kumar Bind, a resident of Ibrahim Pur village in Gopiganj, initially enrolled himself in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya with an OBC certificate.
However, on March 23, 2010, he allegedly obtained a forged certificate identifying him as belonging to the Khatik caste which comes under the SC category. He used this certificate to gain admission in 2018 to the MBBS programme at Motilal Nehru Medical College under the SC quota, Superintendent of Police Meenakshi Katyan said.
The issue came to light when Vijay Bahadur alias Vishram, a resident of Gopiganj, filed a complaint on June 7, 2018. Following an investigation, a case was registered against Amit Kumar Bind and a chargesheet was submitted in court.
