CBI moves HC to cancel bail of three accused in DCI scam

Press Trust of India  |  Chennai  February 23, 2013 Last Updated at 21:35 IST

The CBI has moved the Madras High Court seeking to cancel the bail granted to three persons in connection with the Dental Council of India bribe scam.
Special Public Prosecutor for CBI cases N Chandrasekharan submitted that the accused were not only interfering in the investigation by influencing witnesses, but also trying to demoralise the investigating officer by using foul means.
CBI had on January 7 last registered a case against Dr S Murukesan, DCI member, for allegedly demanding Rs one crore from Adhiparasakthi Dental College and Hospital at Melmaruvathur near here, for getting the body's approval for the PG course. He had also received Rs 25 lakh as the first instalment, it alleged.
S Srilekha, Managing Director of the Trust running the college was earlier released on bail on January 24. K Ramabadran, Administrative Officer of the college and R Karunanidhi, trustee in the Trust, were ordered to be released on bail on February 13, on the condition that they would not tamper with evidence or hamper investigation.
CBI also submitted that the conduct of the accused showed that they were influencing witnesses and destroying evidence also.

Several questions have also been raised against the present Dental Council Chairman for being unable to control the erring members.
The meeting comes even as Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad washed his hands off the entire controversy saying that the council was an autnomous body.

HMA Trustee Dr. Murukesan threatened the CBI officials.......

V.P. RAGHU | DC | CHENNAI, FEB. 11

Docs allegedly collected Rs. 1 crore from dental college to increase admission quota
A CBI team has rearrested Dental Council of India members Dr Murukesan and Dr Gunaseelan in a fresh bribery case connected to the DCI scam.

The two were arrested this time for allegedly collecting Rs. 1 crore from the Asan Memorial Dental College & Hospital to increase its admission quota from 60 to 100 for the BDS course.

Sources alleged that Dr Murukesan, who is currently in prison, shouted at the CBI officials and said that he had good connections in the judiciary and threatened to teach the officials a lesson.

“We arrested the two in a fresh case related to Rs. 1
crore they had received from Asan Memorial Dental College & Hospital. Dr Murukesan had received the amount and had given a share to Dr Gunaseelan,” CBI sources said here on Monday.

The Bureau is now looking into details of the duo’s money transactions in recent months. “It is possible that they had collected money from many other colleges as well. We are scrutinising their accounts,” disclosed a CBI official.

The CBI will be seeking custody of the two doctors soon for questioning regarding the Rs.1 crore they allegedly collected from the Asan Memorial Dental College & Hospital, sources said, adding. “Dr Murukesan was very angry during the second arrest. He shouted at the officials and threatened them.” The CBI began probing the DCI scam in January this year after investigators caught Dr Murukesan red-handed while accepting Rs. 25 lakh from representatives of Adhiparaksakthi Dental College & Hospital in Melmaruvathur after he promised to get DCI permission to start a post-graduate course in the college. The sleuths had also arrested the three representatives and the MD of the college.

The CBI later arrested Dr Gunaseelan, another DCI member, besides raiding four colleges and the houses of three other DCI council members in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Mangalore.

HMA Trustees Dr. Murukesan and Dr. Gunaseelan who are currently in prison re-arrested in another Dental Collge bribery case

By Express News Service - CHENNAI 12th February 2013 08:35 AM

CBI sleuths of registered a fresh case against two, including member of Dental Council of India, in connection with allegedly taking bribe from authorities of a dental college.

CBI sources claimed that they booked two, including Dr Murugesan, DCI member, for receiving bribe amounting to many lakhs for increasing the number of seats for BDS course in Asan Memorial Dental College.

In January, CBI sources said the sleuths raided offices and campuses of three dental colleges, including Asan Memorial Dental College in Chengalepet and its office in Nungambakkam, as part of the probe on alleged irregularities in granting of approvals by Dental Council of India. Raids were also conducted in dental colleges and houses of three DCI members in other states.

The raids were conducted after investigations into a case of bribery for granting approval for a post-graduate degree course for a dental college revealed irregularities in granting of approval for UG and PG courses in other colleges. The CBI then drew up a list of colleges that recently started courses without requisite infrastructure.

On January 8, four persons, including Dr Murugesan, a DCI member, were arrested for receiving Rs. 25 lakh from a dental college to grant approval to start a PG course.

Govt proposes changes in law governing Medical Council of India


PTI

With corruption charges hitting the Medical Council of India (MCI), the government plans to take over powers to remove its president and other office bearers if they are found involved in offences of "moral turpitude".
The government is proposing changes in the law governing the MCI through Indian Medical Council (Amendment) Bill, 2013 which is under consideration of the Health Ministry.

Through a new clause, the proposed bill also makes mandatory renewal of enrolment of doctors every 10 years in the registers maintained by the body or state councils.

Once the bill becomes an Act, doctors who have been enrolled with Indian Medical Register or the State Medical Register for 10 years will have to apply for renewal within a year.

The Council, which was hit by allegations of corruption a few years ago, was replaced by a board of governors to regulate its functioning.

The bill also proposes to restrict the number of terms to two a person can remain president or vice-president. As per the initial draft, the term of the council has also been reduced to four years from the present five years.

A new clause has been inserted to give the Centre powers to remove president, vice-president or member on grounds of being declared insolvent, being physically and mentally incapable and being declared by a court of having an 'unsound' mind.

The other grounds for removal include conviction in an offence which, in the opinion of the central government, involves "moral turpitude".

A person having acquired such financial or other interests which could prejudice his or her function can also be removed from the post.

The president, the vice-president or a member of the MCI can also be removed if the Centre thinks that he or she has abused the position which renders his or her continuance in office "detrimental to overall public interest".

Being found guilty of "proved misbehaviour" can also lead to removal, the bill proposes. But at the same time, a person cannot be removed from the post without being given "reasonable opportunity" of being heard in the matter.

The Medical Council of India was first established in 1934 under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1933. The Council was later reconstituted under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 that replaced the earlier Act.

Govt powerless against Dental Council of India: Health Minister

NI Wire | Chennai, Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The central government does not have <>much power to take action against the Dental Council of India (DCI) as it has been constituted under an act of parliament, said Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare Ghulam Nabi Azad on Thursday while responding to media on the sideline of a seminar convened his ministry at Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu.

Answering a query on DCI scam, Health Minister Azad said, "Under the present act, the government does not have much powers because the dental council has been constituted under an act of parliament. The council elects its own secretaries and representatives."
"Under the present law, government is powerless until ?DCI has been dissolved and a new law is introduced by passing an ordinance," he said.

Two senior members of the DCI were arrested recently on charges of demanding bribe to provide accreditation to courses offered by dental colleges.

The health minister was in Mamallapuram, about 70 km from here, to attend 'India's Call to Action Summit for Child Survival and Development', a three-day summit organised by his ministry.
According to Azad, for the four years he has been the health minister none of the council members made a courtesy call on him.

He agreed that the existing set up is flawed and that parliament should dissolve the DCI and the government should bring in a new legislation through ordinance.

On action to be taken against the colleges allegedly involved in the scam, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare S. Gandhiselvan said, "The investigating agencies are looking into the matter and only after the probe is completed that the government will take any action."

HP govt changes admission policy for medical, dental colleges


Shimla, Feb 2 : Amending the admission policy for post graduate degree/diploma courses in all government and private medical and dental colleges of the state, the Himachal Pradesh government on Friday sliced the quota for General Duty Officers (GDO) from 90 per cent to 66.6 per cent.
Besides this, the state government also increased the direct quota to 33.3 per cent.

The amendment followed the decision taken by the cabinet in this regard yesterday which reviewed the issue and observed that 90 per cent quota was "impractical" and sufficient numbers of GDOs were not available.

Principal Secretary-Health, Ali R Rizvi disclosed that the amended policy would come into force from 2013-14 academic session and the amendment would apply to 160 PG degree and diploma seats available in the state.

Further, the admission to PG Courses for 2013-14 would be on the basis of the National Eligibility Test conducted by the Government of India.

The application/ information brochure will be available from February 16 to March 16, 2013 and last date of receipt of applications would be March 30 while the tentative date for counselling will be April 5, 2013.

Rizvi said that the GDOs quota would have two categories, one for doctors who are working on regular basis and other for those appointed on contract basis.

The division of seats in both regular General Duty Officers and doctors on contract basis would be on the basis of their respective strength in the cadre.

Medical aspirants await SC verdict on entrance as private colleges conduct their own tests

Seemi Pasha, Deepa Balakrishnan, , CNN-IBN

Bangalore/New Delhi: Even as the Supreme Court's verdict on National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical and dental courses is awaited, private colleges have started conducting their own entrance exams. Caught in the middle of the Centre versus state tussle are thousands of students who have no idea what the future holds for them.

In February 2012, the Medical Council of India announced the National Entrance cum Eligibility Test, an all-India exam for entrance into MBBS and Post Graduation courses. The idea was to simplify the admission process and do away with multiple entrance exams conducted by each state and private medical college.

Several state government and private colleges raised objections and took the MCI to court. Asking for more time, the Supreme Court asked the MCI, state universities and private institutions to conduct their respective entrance exams but not declare results till further orders from the apex court.


"We don't know which state or private institute has decided to go ahead with its own exam and which ones have agreed to adopt NEET," said a student. "We're having to criss-cross the country, spending money on travel and admission tests without knowing if it will come to any good," added another.
The students also allege that the real reason why state governments and private institutions are resisting a common entrance exam is because it would make under-the-table transactions difficult. "We all know that medical seats are sold like vegetables, they don't want to clean the system," said a student. "The going price for medical seats is anywhere between Rs 1 to 2 crore. Why would they want to simplify the process," another medical seat aspirant questioned.

But the association of private colleges, such as the one in Karnataka, have rubbished these allegations. An all India common entrance examination can not only streamline the entire admission process but also make it more transparent. As MBBS and PG aspirants run from pillar to post, they are desperately hoping that the confusion will not cost them an entire academic year.

Dental Council mess: Health Minister maintains a deafening silence



INDIA, Updated Feb 05, 2013 at 11:39pm IST

Dr Dibyendu Majumdar. It all began first with the CBI arresting Dr Gunaseelan, Chairman of Tamil Nadu Dental Council, caught along with his aide, Dr Murugesan, with large amounts of cash. Their crime - accepting bribes from dental colleges for increasing the number of seats.
As CNN-IBN raised this subject on last Friday's India @ 9, the pressure was beginning to show on the authorities. Questions were being raised against Chairman of the Dental Council himself. "If I am corrupt, you can hang me," Dibyendu Majumdar said.
But it's the silence of the Health Minister on this subject which is now turning out to be deafening. For the last three years, CNN-IBN has been relentlessly reporting on what ails the Dental Council. But the Health Minister isn't listening.

Will you speak up, Mr Minister?

- Who is responsible for the large-scale corruption which is now becoming endemic in the dental council?
- Why is Mr Azad failing to act against the culprits despite giving written assurances?
- Is the Dental Council a completely political body consisting of candidates backed by politicians?
- And the biggest question - If neither the chairman of the Dental Council, nor the Health Minister are willing to take responsibility, what's the purpose of setting up of this council at all?INDIA, Updated Feb 05, 2013 at 11:39pm IST

PG medical, dental seat aspirants stage protest

BANGALORE, February 4, 2013

Postgraduate medical and dental seat aspirants staged a protest in Bangalore on Sunday pressing for the need to have one common examination for admission in medical and dental colleges across the country. They alleged that there was corruption in the seat selection process and stated that the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) would bring in transparency in the process.

They also protested against the alleged corruption in the admission process across the country due to multiple examinations conducted by various private examination bodies and colleges.

Pritam Kitoy, a graduate from Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Belgaum, said, “We have come here in support of NEET. Almost 90,000 students appeared for NEET last year and private colleges have filed a case against NEET.” “NEET offers thousands of seats under the umbrella of one exam, offering more opportunities nationally for deserving candidates,” said Madhumita S., a medical graduate from Tamil Nadu.

Dental Council executive committee member resigns, says wasn't aware of what was going on

 
INDIA, Updated Feb 05, 2013 at 10:41am IST

New Delhi: Days after CNN-IBN aired stories of rampant corruption in the Dental Council of India, another Dental Council executive committee member has resigned. Jammu and Kashmir's nominee to the Dental Council Riyaz Faruq has quit.
Dr Faruq told CNN-IBN that he was stepping down as he wasn't aware of what was going on in the executive committee. Last week, CNN-IBN had accessed letters written by the members of Dental Council of India (DCI), raising serious questions against the present Chairman of the Council, Dr Dibyendu Majumdar. In one of the letters, written by a member of the DCI Dr Joseph Issac to the Union Health Ministry, questions the manner in which the Council is being managed to suit private colleges.
A petition was also filed in the Kerala High Court against the DCI chairman Dr Majumdar and others for alleged acts of corruption and impropriety. On January 18, the President of the DCI of Tamil Nadu, Dr Gunaseelan, was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation for his alleged involvement in a multi-crore scam in private dental colleges across the country.

Dr Gunaseelan's aide, Dr Murugesan was caught red handed by the CBI with a bribe Rs 25 lakh in cash, taken from a private dental college, in lieu of permissions being granted for starting a post-graduate course. The arrest was made after the investigating body conducted raids across several places in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
This is not the first time that the DCI is at the centre of a storm. Allegations of similar nature have been made against some members of the Council in the past.
The allegations have always been related to either increasing seats in colleges or showing enough faculty members, even if it is just on paper. CNN-IBN has been reporting on flaws within the Dental Council for almost three years now.
When a specific complaint was made before the Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad in May 2012, he had promised that the matter will be looked into and some action will be taken. However, nothing has been done till now.

Dental Council of India: The history of controversies


New Delhi: In a fresh twist to the Dental Council scam, letters written by the members of Dental Council of India (DCI), accessed exclusively by CNN-IBN, have raised serious questions against the present Chairman of the Council, Dr Dibyendu Majumdar. This is clearly not the first time when the Dental Council of India is making headlines. CNN-IBN had reported on the story three years back.

The Dental Council of India is no stranger to controversy, accused of allowing rampant increase in number of Dental colleges, misappropriation of funds and filing misleading reports. A judicial commission set up in 2005 raised a red flag on the corruption plaguing the Medical Education Regulator. It even suggested superseding the council and replacing it with five eminent doctors, a plea that fell on deaf ears.

In 2010, CNN-IBN reported how then MoS Health Dinesh Trivedi was pushing for the dissolution of both the Nursing and Dental Council after the government's decision to scrap MCI. Letters accessed by CNN-IBN showed Trivedi alleging that a nexus of Health Ministry officials, politicians and doctors were milking the system. DCI members, too, had starting revolting against mess.

CNN-IBN exposed how the Uttar Pradesh Dental College owned by BSP MP Akhilesh Das Gupta had bent every rule in the book to get the DCI's approval to start new courses in spite of inadequate infrastructure and manpower. A letter exclusively available with CNN-IBN shows how the government is working towards dissolving all medical education regulators and making way for the National Council for Human Resources in Health.

Three years hence, there is no over arching body and nothing seems to have changed.

Dental Council members' letters raise questions against Chairman, allege management favouring private colleges

New Delhi: In a fresh twist to the Dental Council scam, letters written by the members of Dental Council of India (DCI), accessed exclusively by CNN-IBN, have raised serious questions against the present Chairman of the Council, Dr Dibyendu Majumdar. In one of the letters, written by a member of the DCI Dr Joseph Issac to the Union Health Ministry, questions the manner in which the Council is being managed to suit private colleges.

Meanwhile, a petition has also been filed in the Kerala High Court against the DCI chairman Dr Majumdar and others for alleged acts of corruption and impropriety. "They bargain the management. They blackmail the management and if they don't come to terms, they don't clear the files," Dr Issac alleged.

An email, written by another DCI member Dr Jayaraj creates more embarrassment for the dental body as it questions the manner in which an entire general body meeting of the DCI was manipulated to give clearance to some new courses, all for some considerations.

"I will step down if any corruption case can be proven against me," Majumdar, who denied the allegations of bribery against him, said. He, however, added, "Cannot act against erring members unless their nominating states act against them."

On January 18, the President of the DCI of Tamil Nadu, Dr Gunaseelan, was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation for his alleged involvement in a multi crore scam in private dental colleges across the country.

Dr Gunaseelan's aide, Dr Murugesan was caught red handed by the CBI with a bribe Rs 25 lakh in cash, taken from a private dental college, in lieu of permissions being granted for starting a post-graduate course.

There is a list of measures suggested by the Dental Council to improve its own credibility, but the measures would not have any impact unless the constitution of the Council is relooked.
