Justice R S Rathore of the high court has taken serious note of cheating committed by students who engaged professionals to appear for the exams on their behalf. These students later got admitted to 14 medical colleges in the state. Not “satisfied” with the report submitted by the committee formed by the state government, Justice Rathore wants the matter to probed by a police team headed by P K Singh, IG (personnel), Jaipur. The court constituted a three-member panel headed by Dr Onkar Saxena, former principal SMS Medical College, Jaipur to investigate the allegations that RPMT examination papers contained 15 “wrong” questions.
These orders were passed on two different writ petitions filed by an unsuccessful candidate Jahabar Singh Jat who alleged that a large number of students succeeded in getting admitted to 15 medical colleges of the state by way of the common entrance test where professionals were engaged by the applicants to appear on their behalf. The examination was conducted for around 750 seats for the MBBS course. In an another writ petition, Jat alleged that there were 15 “wrong” questions mentioned in the papers held in year 2009. He also alleged in his writ that during last year’s examination when a similar issue was raised, three committees were constituted by the Medical University to examine the facts. “I deem it necessary to hold the inquiry by a team of police officers, headed by P K Singh, IG police. The probe team may include a handwriting expert from the state forensic laboratory, Jaipur,” Justice Rathore ordered.
“The investigation team shall also mention the invigilators’ names who were present at the examination hall and probe their involvement if any. The special team will submit its report by September 29,” justice Rathore concluded. In the writ pertaining to “wrong” questions, the court also constituted a three-member committee with Dr Onkar Saxena as its head, Dr J C Sharma and Dr V K Pandey as members of the committee among others.
