Three impersonators were working on behalf of MBBS interns at Sir Sunderlal Hospital.
By Roshan Jaiswal: Four MBBS interns and three impersonators working on their behalf were booked for cheating and forgery at Sir Sunderlal Hospital of the Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
The incident came to light when the hospital authorities filed an FIR against them at the Lanka police station and said that four interns had engaged non-medical people to perform their duties during the one-year mandatory internship after MBBS.
Four MBBS interns, namely Nitin, Shubham, Saumik and Kriti, and their impersonators – Mohit Singh of Mirzapur, Abhishek Singh of Sonbhadra and Priti Chauhan of Varanasi – have been booked under sections 419 (cheating by personation), 420 (cheating) and 120B (criminal conspiracy).

Further investigation is underway.
