In a fresh case of forging caste certificates to get admission in medical colleges, the JJ Marg cops arrested a student and booked two others on Tuesday after the Grant Medical College administration filed a complaint on March 31. The accused include two girl students, one of whom has already completed her MBBS course.
Many found guilty An ex-Mantralaya employee had complained to the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) that the students had submitted forged caste certificates of backward communities. Thereafter, an enquiry had been initiated in which 17 students from across the state were found to have submitted fake certificates. Later, complaints were registered against nine of them.
After booking them for cheating and forgery, the cops arrested Femida Khan (24) from Kurla. "We are on the lookout for the other two students," said Dr Manojkumar Sharma, DCP (zone I).
