CBI Crackdown: FIR Against Tata College Chancellor, 33 Others in Corruption Case

In a major move against corruption, the CBI has filed an FIR against 34 individuals, including the Chancellor of Tata College and eight officials from the Health Ministry. 

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has exposed a major scam, which involves a deep web of representatives of the Union Health Ministry, National Medical Commission (NMC), middlemen and private medical colleges.

Corruption and manipulation of rules have been revealed in this sensational case. CBI has registered an FIR against 34 people. This includes eight officials of the Health Ministry, a National Health Authority employee and five doctors of the NMC inspection team.

Many big names have also come to light in this scam. These include Tata Institute of Social Sciences Chairman D. P. Singh, Geetanjali University Registrar Mayur Rawal, Rawatpura Institute of Medical Sciences Chairman Ravi Shankar Ji Maharaj and Index Medical College Chairman Suresh Singh Bhadauria.

CBI has also arrested eight people in this case, including three doctors of NMC. They are accused of taking a bribe of Rs 55 lakh to benefit Rawatpura Institute of Naya Raipur.

Eight officials of the Health Ministry conspired to commit the scam

According to the CBI FIR, the entire scam revolves around eight officials of the Health Ministry, who passed on extremely confidential documents and sensitive information to medical colleges through middlemen. In return, a huge bribe was taken.

These officials also influenced the inspection process of NMC. They gave the information of inspection dates and inspectors to the colleges in advance, which gave the colleges an opportunity to conspire for fraud.

The FIR names Poonam Meena, Dharamveer, Piyush Malyan, Anoop Jaiswal, Rahul Srivastava, Deepak, Manisha and Chandan Kumar of the Health Ministry. These people used to search for confidential files and take pictures of the comments of senior officials and send them to middlemen. This information gave the medical colleges an opportunity to strengthen their position by twisting the rules.
