Hundreds of medical licenses cancelled over India exam scam

India's Supreme Court has cancelled the licenses of 634 doctors involved in a medical school admissions scandal in central Madhya Pradesh State. 

Hundreds of candidates were found to have cheated to gain admission to medical colleges between 2008 and 2013.

The scandal has seen thousands of arrests and many mysterious deaths. 

In its verdict, the Supreme Court said the accused had engaged in acts of deceit and mass fraud. 

The scandal involved leaking question papers, rigging answer sheets and hiring bright students as impersonators to sit for candidates.
