CBI exposes NMC inspection Racket: How a Pan India syndicate was engineering the Biggest Medical Education Scam
How did dozens of substandard medical colleges across India gain official recognition despite failing basic requirements? The answer, according to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), lies in a deeply embedded corruption racket operating from within the Union Health Ministry and National Medical Commission (NMC).
In what is now being dubbed India’s biggest medical education scam, the CBI has uncovered an extensive criminal conspiracy involving ministry officials, NMC assessors, middlemen, and medical college administrators.
The network allegedly manipulated inspection process, leaked confidential regulatory data, and accepted bribes running into crores to facilitate fraudulent approvals for medical institutions across six states. So far, raids have reportedly been conducted on 40 locations across the country, leading to the registration of an FIR against 34 individuals, including officials from the NMC and the Union Health Ministry.
