Medical Exam: Two cousins who are two years apart succeed on the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), a difficult medical entrance exam, and gain admission. It now seems that, despite having different names, their entrance papers from five years ago featured the same image, a man wearing a blue check shirt with windowpanes.
A doctor who made it to AIIMS Jodhpur actually obtained admission there fraudulently by forcing his cousin to take the NEET Exam 2020 in his place, according to a written complaint filed with the Rajasthan police’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) in May of this year. The Jaipur city police have taken over the case from the SIT, stating that they strongly believe the accusations are accurate.
What Happened?
The police have two scorecards in front of them. Ajit Gora owns one with Roll No. 390361794, which shows a picture of the applicant wearing a blue check shirt. On June 5, 2019, officials announced his results. He secured an all-India rank of 13,718 with a score of 578 out of 720. He currently studies medicine at a medical college in Bharatpur.
His cousin, Sachin Gora, holds the other NEET exam scorecard with Roll No. 3901001410, from a year later. Officials announced his results on October 16, 2020. He earned a rank of 1,443 and scored 667 out of 720. At present, he studies medicine at AIIMS Jodhpur.

Police Investigation:
The investigation began when officials noticed the same individual wearing the same clothes in the photos on both scorecards. Police officials told the media that the case appeared to be a blatant impersonation. The cops are questioning both candidates, Ajeet and Sachin. Late on Wednesday evening, a group of Jaipur police officers woke Sachin from his room at the AIIMS hostel and took him for questioning.
On May 15, the police filed a formal complaint against the two candidates after Bhinwaram Gaura, who knows both of them, accused them. Authorities charged them with criminal conspiracy, forgery, and cheating. They also face charges under a Rajasthani government law designed to prevent unfair exam-taking methods.
The whistleblower, who reported the candidates, demands action against those who become doctors by cheating, harming society by denying seats to deserving applicants. Jagdish Kuldeep, the complainant’s attorney, told the media that the police must investigate whether a larger conspiracy is involved.
