Rajasthan Police Arrest Six for Using Fake Medical Degrees and CertificatesPreviousNext

The Rajasthan Police Special Operations Group (SOG) arrested six individuals for using forged medical degrees and certificates to secure internships and registrations with the Rajasthan Medical Council. Among them, four foreign medical graduates allegedly paid intermediaries up to Rs 30 lakh for fake FMGE certificates after failing the exam multiple times. Two others, including one with only Class 8 education, used forged documents to pose as qualified doctors. Investigations are ongoing to identify further involvement.
