Press Trust of India, Friday April 23, 2010, New Delhi
CBI has arrested President of Medical Council of India Ketan Desai and two others for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 2 crore to grant recognition to a medical college in Punjab.
Desai was arrested late night on Thursday after the CBI conducted searches at his office here following information that he along with his associate Jitender Pal Singh was allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 2 crore to recognise a college in Punjab, CBI spokesperson Harsh Bahal said on Friday.
Bahal said that Desai along with Singh and another associate Dr Kanwaljit Singh of Gyan Sagar Medical College in Punjab have been arrested by CBI on corruption charges.
The spokesperson said that the three were being interrogated and searches were going on at six other places in Delhi and outside.
The CBI laid a trap after receiving a complaint and caught Singh allegedly with Rs 2 crore which was to be delivered to Desai.
The agency also conducted raids in Punjab, Delhi and Gujarat to trace Desai's other associates.
The main objectives of the Medical Council include maintenance of uniform standards of medical education and recommendation for recognition/de-recognition of medical qualifications of medical institutions of India or foreign countries.

Postal honcho caught taking Rs 2-crore bribe: NOC Scam
For the first time since Independence, the CBI has caught and arrested a high ranking bureaucrat accepting a bribe of Rs 2 crore. The CBI arrested Manjit Singh Bali, a 1978 batch officer of the Indian Postal Service in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Bali, one of the ten senior most officers of the service in the country was caught red handed for seeking and accepting a bribe to allow the construction of a post office on a private developer's land.
"The middle man reached the hotel as did Mr Bali. Our team was waiting and we caught him red handed accepting the Rs 2 crore," said Rishi Raj Singh, Joint Director, CBI.
"I first approached Bali to get a No Objection Certificate for a post office. He avoided me. Then a few days later I got a call from a person. I was asked for Rs 2 crore for the NOC," said Rita Shah, Former Mumbai Corporator, Complainant.
Shah, a former city Corporator, had approached Bali on the behalf of a city builder who was willing to give up a part of his land for public use.
In return, under the city civic laws the builder would be given benefits like permission to build and sell more space.
The investigators say that Bali wanted a cut on the money the builder would make.
On raiding Bali's residence the CBI found large amounts of cash that are unaccounted for. So now along with the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate will also investigate Bali to find out if he's used his position for monetary gain in the past as well.
