Maharashtra Cyber has dismantled an inter-state racket involved in producing fake Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) certificates. Two more accused, including a suspected key technical operator, have been arrested, raising the total number of arrests to five. The racket allegedly involved foreign medical graduates who failed the FMGE Screening Test, procured forged certificates and documents, and obtained medical registration.
The fraud was uncovered after the Maharashtra Medical Council detected discrepancies in registration documents. The technical operator, Shivam Rakesh Singh, is suspected of generating fraudulent certificates for over 20 individuals. The investigation is ongoing to determine if more individuals were involved. The cyber agency advises citizens to report cybercrime incidents through designated channels.
