ROHTAK, May 24 — Police are ramping up their investigation into the MBBS examination scam at Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak (UHSR), as public outcry grows over the slow pace of arrests and disciplinary measures.
To date, 41 people—including 24 MBBS students from a private medical college and 17 university staffers—have been named in the FIR. Yet only three employees have been arrested, and no students have faced formal charges, prompting critics to question the probe’s progress.
According to law enforcement sources, authorities have obtained the university’s permission to question 12 more employees already named in the FIR, along with four additional suspects identified through ongoing inquiries. Meanwhile, 20 students remain under scrutiny, and further arrests are expected “in the coming days,” a senior officer said.
Pressure for decisive action is mounting. Dr. Amit Vyas, president of the United Doctors Front, wrote to Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini demanding an independent, high-level inquiry, immediate expulsion of the accused students, and stringent legal action against implicated staff. “This scam has not only tarnished the reputation of medical education but has also jeopardised the future of thousands of honest and hardworking students,” Vyas said.
Echoing these concerns, Deepak Rathee, national spokesperson of the Akhil Bhartiya Adarsh Jat Mahasabha, warned that “high-level officials may be involved” and urged police to explore that angle.
The district police have already filed a 978-page chargesheet, underscoring the alleged fraud’s complexity and scale. Authorities say the next phase of questioning and arrests will be guided by evidence gathered in that dossier.
