Overview

  • Three doctors and three intermediaries were apprehended in Bengaluru as they delivered a ₹55 lakh payment to secure favourable inspection reports for Shri Rawatpura Sarkar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research.
  • The operation followed an inspection visit on June 30 and was executed after the CBI laid a trap based on intercepted collusion between institute officials and assessing doctors.
  • A formal case has been registered against the institute’s office-bearers, the inspecting doctors, and intermediaries for manipulating the statutory recognition process in return for bribes.
  • Investigators are conducting searches at over 40 locations across Karnataka, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Madhya Pradesh as the probe expands.
  • This action builds on earlier CBI arrests in February of NAAC inspection committee members and in May of an NMC assessor, reflecting a sustained drive against corruption in medical accreditation.
