The Crime Branch of J&K Police investigating a fraud in selection of students for MBBS in Bangladesh under South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) quota has submitted its interim report to the union ministry for external affairs.
In January, the CB registered a case after a meritorious student, Faheem Rashid, who scored 491 marks out of 500 in 2017 annual class 12th exams and topped in Biology, questioned the genuineness of the SAARC selection list. Rashid alleged that students from Kashmir valley with lesser merit were fraudulently given admission in Bangladesh under SAARC quota for MBBS course.
“We have included all the findings of our investigations in the report and submitted it to the ministry of external affairs for further action,” said JavaidKaul, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Crime Branch.
During the investigations, it has come to fore that around seven to eight students have produced ‘fabricated’ marks cards of their class 12th annual 2017 exams to secure admissions under the SAARC quota.
