As a result of a cheating scam, Uttarakhand Police has detained three people and two doctors from AIIMS Rishikesh.

Two physicians, one from Punjab and the other from Haryana, are allegedly practicing at AIIMS Rishikesh. According to TOI, the police detained five people on Sunday night, including these two doctors, for aiding and abetting from a vehicle close to Barrage Road in Rishikesh.

Medical Dialogues reported that Vipul Gaura (age 31) and Jayant (age 22) from Hisar, Haryana, along with two medics, Aman Shivach (age 24) of Rohtak, Haryana, and Jayant (age 22) from Hisar, Haryana, were arrested for allegedly using an instant messaging app to solve the question paper at an exam center in Himachal Pradesh.
