New Delhi: The Medical Council of India (MCI) on Friday wrote to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) asking for a probe into a sting operation conducted by CNN-IBN which exposed the sale of post-graduate medical seats in colleges across three states for crores of rupees. The CNN-IBN sting had caught five colleges taking crores for admissions. The MCI has handed over the sting operation tapes to the CBI.
The CBI will also probe a complaint filed by BSP MP Seema Upadhyay who was reportedly asked to pay Rs 1.5 crore for her daughter's admission in Subharti medical college in Meerut.
Upadhyay, an MP from Fatehpur Sikri, has now written a letter to the MCI, the Health Minister and the CBI, asking for a probe into the illegal sale of medical seats in Subharti medical college.

I spoke to students who were studying there and found out the college charges anything between Rs 1-1.5 crore per seat. I was shocked at the rampant corruption. How does a meritorious student then get admission? I have written to the MCI, the CBI, the PMO, the President and the Health Minister. I want a CBI inquiry into the matter.
