A local court on Tuesday sentenced a student to seven years of imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 11,000 for securing admission in MBBS at Prayagraj's Motilal Nehru Medical College using a fake Scheduled Caste (SC) certificate.
Amit Kumar Bind, a resident of Ibrahim Pur village in Gopiganj, initially enrolled himself in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya with an OBC certificate.
However, on March 23, 2010, he allegedly obtained a forged certificate identifying him as belonging to the Khatik caste which comes under the SC category. He used this certificate to gain admission in 2018 to the MBBS programme at Motilal Nehru Medical College under the SC quota, Superintendent of Police Meenakshi Katyan said.
