Fadnavis orders SIT probe into Satara medical college admission racket
Hindustan TimesMaharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday announced a special investigation team probe into a racket that helped students with fake mark sheets to get admissions at a private medical college in Satara district. Fadnavis, in the state assembly, also announced transferring a deputy superintendent of police and an investigation officer to a non-administrative position for not conducting proper investigation in the case. BJP legislator Jaykumar Gore raised the issue and alleged the Rural Institute of Research Centre Hospital in Satara was providing fake marksheets and migration certificates among other documents to admit ineligible students into the medical college under management quota. “The college was giving fake Class 12 marksheets and migration certificates,” he said, adding that the police officers probing the case had initially refused to take the complaint and were also found trying to shield the guilty.
