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.
