Police in Almora have registered a first information report against a student accused of obtaining MBBS admission at Soban Singh Jeena Government Medical College and Research Institute using a forged certificate. The college had already cancelled the admission after the document failed verification.
The accused has been identified as Mohammad Shami, a resident of Bajpur. During the 2026 academic session admission process, he submitted a certificate linked to the orphan and abandoned children category.
Certificate rejected during verification
College officials checked the documents as part of the admission process and found that the certificate was forged. The administration then cancelled the student’s admission in accordance with the applicable procedure.

Circle Officer Balwant Singh Rawat confirmed that the case was registered on the complaint submitted by the college administration. He said further action would be taken according to the law.
The registration of the FIR marks the beginning of the police investigation. It does not itself establish guilt, and the allegations will be examined during the legal process.
