Forty doctors waiting for leaked' paper attacked at Tauru farmhouse, 7 held
Hindustan Times|January 20, 2024
The 26-year-old doctor was excited but nervous. He had returned to India in 2022 after completing his MBBS from Kazakhstan but was yet to begin practising in the country as he had not yet cleared the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) a biannual test for those who have completed their medical degree from an institute in a foreign country, and wish to practise in India.

Forty doctors waiting for leaked' paper attacked at Tauru farmhouse, 7 held

GURUGRAM: But this Thursday was different he was promised a "leaked" copy of the FMGE on January 20, which he could then use to pass the crucial test. And so, he, along 39 other hopeful doctors from a consultancy institute in Delhi, gathered early in the morning at a private farmhouse at Hasanpur village, near Tauru town in Haryana's Nuh district

However, the calm of the morning was shattered when a group of men swarmed into the farmhouse, pointed guns at the assembled doctors, and claimed that they were Haryana Police crime branch officers who were acting on news of the paper leak.

These "officers" then started recording videos of the doctors, along with that of farmhouse owner Sarwar Singh, and then assaulted them and robbed them of their cash and valuables.

Hearing the melee, Singh's brother called the police control room, and within minutes, a team-the real police this time arrived at the spot and arrested the impersonators, who turned out to be members of a rival gang upset that they were not cut into the deal involving the leaked paper. Police said the rival gang recorded the videos so that they could blackmail the victims about using a leaked paper to pass the test.
