Man gets three years in jail for impersonation

A man has been convicted and sentenced to undergo three years rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs 6,000 in a case relating to impersonation in AIIMS examination.

The case was registered on the complaint of the Director, AIIMS, New Delhi on the allegations of impersonation in entrance examination for BSc [H] Para Medical Courses, conducted by AIIMS in 2001 at Cambridge School, Sriniwaspuri.

During counselling, the Counselling Committee of AIIMS observed that one of the successful candidates, namely Rajiv Kumar did not actually appear in the written examination rather, another person appeared in the exam impersonating himself as Rajiv Kumar. The accused name is Alok Kumar.

The investigation revealed that 8 instances of impersonation were detected by Counselling Committee in that exam. These instances appear to be systematic, pre-planned and organised action on the part of some mischievous persons to obtain admission by unscrupulous means for destroying the sanctity of examination at AIIMS. CBI filed eight charge sheets in different cases.

The investigation of this instance established that one Rajiv Kumar from Bihar had applied for said examination and entered into criminal conspiracy with Alok Kumar and another private person.

In furtherance to the said criminal conspiracy, Alok Kumar and another private person visited Delhi from Bihar. Alok Kumar appeared in the examination impersonating himself as Rajiv Kumar.

Accused Rajiv Kumar was declared successful and in response to the call letter for counselling, Rajiv Kumar appeared before Counseling Committee of AIIMS.

When Rajiv Kumar was asked about the details of examination, Rajiv Kumar confessed before the Counseling Committee that he had not appeared in the examination.
