Jaipur, December 4 (Udaipur Kiran): The Special Operations Group (SOG) has busted a serious medical fraud racket and arrested three doctors for using fake certificates to secure internships in government medical colleges. The accused had failed to clear the mandatory Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) in India but obtained forged certificates after paying a large sum.
Additional Director General of Police, SOG, Vishal Bansal said that the main accused, Dr Piyush Kumar Trivedi of Dausa, had completed his MBBS degree from Georgia but failed the FMGE exam three consecutive times in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Despite repeated failure, he procured a fake FMGE certificate with the help of an organised criminal network and obtained approval from the National Medical Commission (NMC) for internship. He was later allotted internship at Government Medical College, Karauli.
During investigation, it was found that Dr Piyush paid Rs 16 lakh to his associates, including Dr Devendra Singh Gurjar and Dr Shubham Gurjar, for arranging the forged FMGE certificate and NMC registration. Further probe revealed that Dr Shubham Gurjar also used a fake FMGE certificate to complete his internship at Rajiv Gandhi Hospital, Alwar, while Dr Devendra Singh Gurjar completed his internship at Government Medical College, Dausa using similar forged documents.
The SOG has arrested all three accused and is seeking their police custody for further interrogation. Officials said the investigation is now focused on identifying the main network involved in preparing fake FMGE certificates, the middlemen, and other doctors who may have completed internships using forged documents.
The SOG stated clearly that strict action will be taken against everyone involved in this grave offence, which directly affects the integrity of the medical system and public safety.
