The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked some employees of the erstwhile Medical Council of India (MCI) and the Dental Council of India (DCI), apart from the registrar of Udaipur-based Pacific University, for allegedly leaking information related to the inspections of its two medical colleges.
Based on inputs, the agency had instituted a preliminary enquiry in 2020 against Sandeep Kumar, then a clerk in the MCI’s monitoring section; DCI clerk Khizar Abbas; and Sharad Kothari, registrar of the Pacific Institute of Medical Sciences and the Pacific Medical College and Hospital.
The enquiry pertained to the clearing of management quota seats of both the medical colleges from the MCI’s monitoring section and the alleged leak of sensitive information with respect to inspection dates for the colleges. In the FIR, the CBI has also named Javed Khan, the then assistant programmer with the MCI; Sachin Gupta, Sushil Kumar and his relative Bal Govind.
