Rajasthan's 2nd year MBBS student booked for impersonating in NEET 2024 exam

Then, the supervisor informed college administrator Dr Debjani Dasgupta about the mismatch. In a bid to prevent chaos, the administrator ordered the supervisor to allow the student to appear in the examination and also to keep a watch on the student during the exam.

After the exam was over, the student was asked to check the biometrics once again but still it was mismatched. After this, the administrator informed the police about the incident and then the police reached the college for investigation. Police then registered a case under sections of the IPC and the Maharashtra Prevention of Malpractices Act, University, Board and Other Specified Examinations Act, 1982.

Speaking to the HT, a police officer from CBD Belapur police station said “When confronted, the dummy student confessed, revealing that her father had lost his job, and they were in desperate need of money, which led her to agree to participate in the deception. We are investigating further to find the money involved in the deal and if she has done this before. Presently, the case is registered against the student who posed as the dummy. However, we intend to pursue charges against the original student as well”.

Meanwhile, the dummy student has been served a notice as per CrPC.
