Rajasthan - A real-life incident similar to the movie Munnabhai MBBS occurred when a medical student allegedly took the NEET 2023 exam on behalf of another candidate. This helped the candidate get admission into an MBBS course.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered an FIR against a medical student who allegedly appeared as a proxy for a candidate in the National Eligibility and Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2023 exam

A case has been registered against a man named Vikas, a resident of Jalore district in Rajasthan. He was a second-year MBBS student at Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar Medical College, Sirohi.

According to PTI report, sources said that Vikas had allegedly appeared for Praveen Godara of Jodhpur, who is also named in the FIR, in the NEET-UG exam held on May 7, 2023, at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Sector 12, Dwarka, New Delhi. Moreover, Vikas allegedly copied Godara's signature and handwriting on the NEET-UG 2023 attendance and answer sheets.

Godara then cleared the exam and secured a seat in the MBBS course at the Government Institute of Medical Sciences in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Moreover, the investigators also found out that both of them are currently pursuing MBBS courses at their respective medical colleges.

Officials on Monday said "the CBI has booked Vikash, a resident of Rajasthan’s Jalore district, who allegedly appeared for Praveen Godara of Jodhpur in the NEET-UG held on May 7, 2023, at the Kendriya Vidyalaya in Sector 12, Dwarka, here. Godara has also been named as an accused in the FIR."

"Vikash, who was in the second year of his MBBS course at Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Medical College in Sirohi, allegedly mimicked Godara’s signature and handwriting on the NEET-UG 2023 attendance and answer sheets," the officials said.

“It has also been ascertained that both are presently pursuing the MBBS course at their respective medical colleges,” an official said.

The federal probe agency has booked them under Indian Penal Code sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 419 (cheating by impersonation), and 467 (forgery), among others, and corresponding Sections of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, the FIR stated.

Medical Dialogues earlier reported a similar case where a final-year student at AIIMS Jodhpur and a doctor have been arrested for fraud in the NEET 2020 exam. Investigators revealed that the student did not appear for the exam and had the doctor impersonate him. The fraud was detected after the National Testing Agency found a mismatch between the candidate’s photo and official records.
