Hyderabad medical institute charged for corruption

 A case has been registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against a Hyderabad-based medical institute and two Delhi-based clerks of the Medical Council of India(MCI) for allegedly indulging in corrupt practices.

The accused, Santosh Kumar and Sandeep Kumar, lower division clerks (LDCs) in MCI, Sushil Kumar, and the Peerancheru-based institute were charged with corruption under sections 120-B of IPC and sections 7, 12 and 13(2) r/w 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act of 1988.

CBI’s anti-corruption unit in Delhi said that Santosh Kumar and Sandeep Kumar had been taking bribes from various private medical colleges by clearing various pending works with MCI.

CBI further alleged that the duo along with Sushil took Rs 4 lakh bribe from the medical institute in September 2017 for showing undue favour in the first-year registration of MBBS students with MCI for the academic year 2016-17.
