Former Madhya Pradesh health officer booked for fraudulent MBBS degree

A former health officer in Madhya Pradesh has been booked by police following the discovery of a fake MBBS degree, nearly 16 years into his service. Sunil Singh was removed from his post after a health department inquiry determined his qualification was fraudulent.

The police registered a case against Singh on Saturday based on findings from the departmental probe. The case marks a significant breach in credentialing at the state health administration level.

Details regarding how the fraud was detected or the timeline of his appointment remain limited. The incident underscores gaps in credential verification processes within government health services.
