In a parallel development, parents took to the streets and staged protests outside the Peshawar Press Club, expressing their concerns about irregularities in the medical college entrance test. These parents alleged that the national institution responsible for conducting the test, despite receiving substantial bribes ranging from 35 to 40 lakhs, has failed to detect Bluetooth usage and apprehend those involved in facilitating cheating.
They emphasized the need for justice through the court and called for exposing individuals engaged in the Bluetooth cheating business. Additionally, they urged that the test be rerun transparently.
It is worth noting that in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, over 46,000 students participated in the MDCAT test, with more than 200 students being apprehended for using Bluetooth and other spy devices to cheat. FIRs have been registered against these students.
