UP govt orders CBI probe into Ayush admission scam

The CBI should look into the Ayush admissions scam, according to the Uttar Pradesh government. Confirming the development, an official spokesperson said: “Following orders from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the case of anomalies in Ayush colleges admission has been referred to the CBI.

In the state's Ayush institutions, at least 12% of admissions for the academic year 2021–2022 may be false due to a newly discovered fraud involving the counselling process.

In the state's different government and private Ayush institutions, there are 7,338 seats total, of which 891 have been open to oversight.

The Union Ayush ministry announced the anomaly last week. Director of UP's ayurveda services, Prof. S.N. Singh, filed a FIR on Saturday following an internal investigation.
