KANPUR, Oct. 17 -- Three people, including two government doctors, were arrested and sent to jail for their alleged involvement in a bribery case during medical examinations for Home Guard recruitment at Kanpur Police Lines on Thursday night. The accused, idetified as Dr Praveen Saxena, Dr Mahesh Kumar Dwivedi and Dr Devendra Rajput, were posted at UHM Hospital and served on one of the two medical panels constituted by the chief medical officer (CMO). Police commissioner Raghubir Lal said the accused doctors had allegedly received Rs.3 lakh from candidates through online transfers. Another Rs.30,000 in cash was also seized from them. The role of a third doctor named in the FIR is under investigation. Police have also received additional complaints against arrested doctor Praveen Saxena. The doctors allegedly demanded bribes ranging from Rs.20,000 to Rs.50,000 from candidates, citing physical features such as a crooked nose or a broad forehead as grounds for declaring them medically unfit. Following the uproar on Thursday evening, 20 candidates lodged written complaints with the police. Subsequently, Dr Praveen Saxena, Dr Mahesh Kumar Dwivedi and their driver, Ajit, were arrested under the Prevention of Corruption Act and provisions related to the use of unfair means in examinations. Dr Praveen was reportedly inducted into the medical panel after Dr Ashwini, who was initially selected, declined the assignment. CMO Dr Haridutt Nemi said medical panels were constituted as required and only doctors from the district hospital could be included. A new panel has since been formed. According to the FIR lodged by Home Guard inspector Sudhanshu Singh, Commandant Preeti Sharma reached the spot after receiving information about the alleged bribery. Three people were found sitting in a vehicle, of whom one was caught while another fled. Some people allegedly blocked the way to help Ajit escape. Candidates also reportedly got into a scuffle with the doctors....
