Medical scam, a case of criminal culpability : Kiran Bedi

Lt. Gov. Kiran Bedi, who has been vocal against the alleged medical scam took to twitter on Thursday saying the alleged corruption in the admission of students in PG courses by private medical colleges in Puducherry was a case of criminal culpability.

On September 21, she thanked the CBI for booking two IAS officers and 11 other government officials in connection with the corruption allegations surrounding the issue. In a separate Whatsapp message to media persons on Friday, Bedi said the trouble with the officers booked by the CBI face was "totally preventable" had they done their duty without fear or favour.

"Instead they kept falling prey to irregular orders. They even lied. CBI investigation will not go away," she said. She said from next year the admission process should be more technology-driven to avoid such situations. Further, Bedi urged the officials to "tell the truth" about whose instructions they were following.
