2 more arrests in Rohtak MBBS Exam Scam case

Meanwhile, one of the detained accused confessed during police interrogation that he had struck a deal with Jitendra for Rs 30,000 for each leaked paper.

Confirming the arrests, DSP Dalip Singh, who is leading the investigation, said, "We have recovered Rs 10,000 from each accused. Both have confessed to leaking the paper. Further investigation is underway." Before the arrest, the police cross-examined the revelations made by the main accused.

With the arrest of these two new accused, the total number of university employees detained now stands at five. The three others are Roshan Lal, Rohit and Deepak, who are currently in jail. Besides, seventeen other university employees have already been booked in the case, which was first revealed in January.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the police officials were preparing to take further major action in the MBBS exam scam that surfaced at Pandit BD Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak (UHSR).  41 individuals- including 24 MBBS students from a private medical college and 17 employees of the university— have been booked in the case, which came to light in February. However, only three employees had been arrested, and no concrete action has yet been taken against the students, drawing criticism over the slow pace of the investigation.
