Maharashtra Police Arrest Three in Fake FMGE Certificate Forgery Case
Maharashtra Cyber police uncovered an interstate network forging Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) scorecards and certificates for foreign-trained medical graduates seeking registration in India. The investigation began after the Maharashtra Medical Council found unqualified graduates holding medical registration certificates. Three individuals, including two applicants who failed the exam and a key operative, were arrested. Authorities are examining digital evidence and financial transactions, with suspicions that forged documents were prepared for 15 to 20 applicants for money. The probe is ongoing to determine the full extent of the network.
