Chinta Mohan demands Central probe into PG medical seat ‘scam’ in Andhra Pradesh

Congress leader Chinta Mohan has demanded that the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the National Medical Commission (NMC) order an inquiry into the alleged scam related to the sale of PG medical seats in three private medical colleges in Andhra Pradesh.

Addressing the media here on November 27 (Monday), Mr. Chinta Mohan alleged that 152 PG medical seats were sold away for ₹3 crore to ₹4 crore each even as there was no clearance from the NMC. He claimed that the scam took place with the knowledge of the State government.
