The Jaipur administration has ordered a 24-hour suspension of mobile internet services in select areas of the city, effective from early morning, in anticipation of a major anti-encroachment drive by the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA). The move aims to prevent the spread of rumors and maintain law and order during the operation.
Anti-Encroachment Drive Triggers Internet Shutdown
According to official sources, the decision was taken after intelligence inputs suggested potential unrest. The suspension applies to mobile data services, while broadband and landline internet remain functional. Citizens have been advised to use alternative means of communication for essential services.
SOG Intensifies Probe into Fake FMG Certificate Racket
In a parallel development, the Rajasthan Special Operations Group (SOG) has made significant progress in its investigation into a massive fake Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) certificate racket. Three more individuals were arrested on Tuesday, taking the total number of arrests to 15. The SOG has also identified over 100 doctors who are suspected of using forged medical qualification documents to practice medicine in India.
The racket, which came to light earlier this year, involves the fabrication of medical degrees from foreign universities, primarily from countries like China, Russia, and Ukraine. The accused allegedly paid hefty sums to obtain these fake certificates, which were then used to clear the FMG exam and secure medical licenses in India.
Details of the Investigation
SOG officials stated that the arrested individuals include middlemen and facilitators who operated across multiple states. During raids, authorities seized a large number of fake degree certificates, mark sheets, and other incriminating documents. The investigation has also uncovered links to a network of touts who promised aspiring doctors guaranteed success in the FMG exam through fraudulent means.
The SOG has issued summons to several doctors for questioning, and further arrests are expected. The Medical Council of India (MCI) has been alerted, and steps are being taken to verify the credentials of all suspected doctors. Those found guilty face cancellation of their medical licenses and potential criminal prosecution.
Impact on Healthcare Sector
The revelation has sent shockwaves through the medical community in Rajasthan and beyond. Health experts have expressed concern over the potential risk to patient safety, as unqualified individuals may have been practicing medicine. The state government has assured the public that strict action will be taken against all offenders to uphold the integrity of the healthcare system.
Meanwhile, the Jaipur administration has appealed for calm and cooperation from residents during the internet suspension. The JDA drive is expected to target illegal constructions in several unauthorized colonies, and officials have promised that all legal procedures will be followed.
