Confirming the suspension, sources from AIIMS said the student, Hukmaram Godara, a resident of Barmer, had appeared in place of a NEET applicant at an exam centre in Muzaffarpur, Bihar.

"We received information from Bihar police about Hukmaram, following which we suspended him," said a source, adding that Bihar police urged the AIIMS administration to share with them any information concerning Hukmaram. Hukmaram allegedly appeared in lieu of Raj Pandey, the son of a renowned doctor in Prayagraj, for a payment of Rs 4 lakh. He was caught at the exam centre during biometric checking.

Interestingly, he was let off by the exam centre (DAV School, Muzaffarpur) after being asked to submit a letter of apology. For this, even the centre administration is under the radar of Bihar police.

According to the AIIMS administration, Hukmaram has been missing since May 2. He did not appear for a recent exam held at AIIMS. Police went to his house in Barmer but he was not found there.
