Chennai: CB-CID officers conducted inquiries with a medical student, his parents and the dean of a medical college over impersonation in NEET this year.
The student Udit Surya (20) and his parents were arrested from a hotel in Tirupati and taken to CB-CID office at Egmore in Chennai for further questioning.
The arrest was made after the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court refused to grant anticipatory bail to him.
Police inquiries revealed that the photos of the student on the college application and the NEET 2019 score card did not match with appearance of the student attending the classes at the government medical college in Theni.
