The Uttarakhand administration has suspended two revenue officers for alleged involvement in a fraudulent MBBS admission scheme.
The state government of Uttarakhand has taken disciplinary action by suspending two revenue officers pending further inquiry into a fake MBBS admission racket. The officials were relieved of their duties after preliminary investigations linked them to the illegal facilitation of medical college seats.
According to the department’s internal probe, the officers allegedly accepted bribes and used their authority to manipulate admission records, enabling undeserving candidates to secure seats in MBBS programs. The scheme is part of a broader pattern of admission fraud that has drawn scrutiny across several Indian states.
A senior official from the Uttarakhand Revenue Department confirmed the suspensions and said the matter will be referred to the state’s anti-corruption cell for a detailed investigation. The officers will remain on suspension until the inquiry concludes.
The move underscores the administration’s intent to curb corruption in education-related processes and send a clear signal that officials involved in such malpractice will face strict action.
