Candidates from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Maharashtra attempted to secure MBBS seats under the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) quota using fake documents. While applicants claimed 40% to 50% visual or foot disabilities, clinical examinations by expert doctors revealed that their eyes were completely fine and one candidate's foot disability was only 12% instead of the mandatory 40% threshold.
A special medical board was constituted under the chairmanship of MS Dr. R.S. Bisht, which included expert doctors from the ophthalmology, orthopedics, and other departments to examine 18 candidates from various states.
When doctors raised strict questions regarding their documentation and conducted physical checks, several candidates—including a female student from Uttar Pradesh who claimed a 45% disability—disappeared without completing the examination, while others fled upon seeing the strictness of the medical board.
