Action has been taken in the exam scam at Rohtak’s Pandit BD Sharma University of Health Sciences (PGIMS). Two regular employees, including a computer operator Roshan Lal and assistant Rohit, have been dismissed from service for their involvement in the MBBS annual and supplementary exam scam. UHSR Vice Chancellor Professor HK Aggarwal confirmed the dismissal.
These PGI employees helped students to take out the answer sheets, giving them a chance to rewrite the answers. In this case, Haryana Police has registered an FIR against 41 accused, including 24 students and 17 staff members. The dismissed employees have reportedly confessed to tampering with the answer sheets.
The two employees were suspended following the revelations in January. By February, UHSR stepped up its response by registering an FIR against 41 individuals, including 24 MBBS students of a private college and 17 UHSR employees. Roshan Lal and Rohit were among those named in the FIR and were later arrested.
Police investigation is underway in the case, which involves students from two private colleges across the state, police sources involved in the probe said. The university’s internal probe also revealed discrepancies between the marks in the answer sheets and the award list, indicating possible tampering.
The termination order issued by the vice-chancellor cited statements made by the employees during police interrogation as the grounds for termination, saying they were “unfit to continue in service”.
