The ED is conducting raids today over allegations that the college was collecting huge amounts of money on the pretext of offering admission to medical college.
Earlier in 2020, parents of some students had approached the Kerala High Court demanding a CBI probe as they alleged that the college administration cheated several people and collected huge sums by offering admission at the medical college for MBBS and MD seats
As per the allegations, the accused, who were college authorities, took huge amounts from them promising admissions and later cheated. When the college authorities failed to give admissions, the petitioners demanded the money back. However, the money was not returned, the petitioners alleged.
