The Story in Brief
Three men have been arrested in Rajasthan for using forged Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) screening certificates to practise as doctors, India Today reports. They paid between Rs 25 lakh and Rs 29 lakh for the fake documents after repeatedly failing the mandatory exam conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). One of them treated patients in an emergency ward without any registration with the Rajasthan Medical Council (RMC). The police said more than 100 foreign medical graduates have come under the scanner so far, and 30 people have been arrested in connection with the case.
The Indian Opinion
Some will portray this as a few desperate individuals, others as proof that India's foreign medical graduate system is broken. But the numbers, 30 arrested and more than 100 under investigation, suggest an organised racket involving brokers and possibly RMC staff. The real test will come when the NBEMS reveals how many such forged certificates were accepted for registration.
