MCI Debars Seven Doctors From Andhra Pradesh And Telangana

The Medical Council of India (MCI) has debarred three Telangana and four Andhra Pradesh doctors from teaching for five years after their names were found in a 'ghost' medical faculty list in a Puducherry-based private medical institute. In fact, the seven are part of a bigger medical faculty racket unearthed at Puducherry's Vinayaka Mission's Medical College & Hospital by the Chennai anti-corruption branch of CBI. As many as 131 private doctors are allegedly involved in the racket.

Those debarred by MCI include three practicing private doctors from Hyderabad—G Vahini from Jubilee Hills, Md Jamaluddin Qadri from Mozzam Jahi Market and Md Iqbal from Shantinagar. Those from AP are P Srinivas Prasad from Tenali (Guntur), K Gopi Krishan from New Military Colony (Nellore), Y Tanuja of Dargammitta (Nellore) and Ramanathan from TSN Colony (Visakhapatnam). The MCI disciplinary committee has asked its state counterpart, AP State Medical Council (APSMC), to implement the punishment.

MAN GIVEN LIFE FOR RAPE AND MURDER BASED ON BITE MARKS ON VICTIM

KEM expert helps cops nail criminal using dental forensics; first such case in Maharashtra.

A forensic odontologist from KEM Hospital, the only such expert in Maharashtra, has helped the state procure a life term for a rapist and murderer by matching bite marks found on his 14-year-old victim's body to the 34-year-old man's dental profile. According to A R Kotikhane, the public prosecutor who tried the case, this is the first instance of a forensic odontology being employed to obtain a conviction in a Maharashtra court.

The Parbhani police, tasked with investigating the case, lacked sufficient forensic evidence to link the perpetrator, Irfan Afroz Sannulla Farroque, to the crime, which he committed in October. All they had to go on was a set of bite marks discovered on the body of the girl, an orphan, who had been violated sexually and strangled to death.
