CBI Inspection Bribery Case: NMC blacklists 4 doctors, cancels seat approvals at 6 medical colleges
Stepping up action in the alleged widespread inspection bribery scam that rocked the medical education sector in the country, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has now blacklisted 4 more assessors and cancelled approvals for MBBS and PG medical seats at 6 medical colleges.
The action comes in the backdrop of the ongoing probe launched by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) exposing a deeply embedded corruption racket operating from within the Union Health Ministry and National Medical Commission (NMC), wherein dozens of substandard medical colleges across India were gaining official recognition despite failing basic requirements.
"The Central Bureau of Investigation had reported at the start of this month that the agency had filed an FIR No. RC2182025A0014 dated 30-06-2025 under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, against 04 Senior doctors working as Assessors with the National Medical Commission, some medical colleges and private persons. The matter is currently under investigation," the NMC mentioned in its recently issued notification.
