Munnabhai MBBS sequel Lage Rahho Munnabhai today hit the silver screen all over India, but the medical education of Asom has been hit so hard by the ''Munnabhai'' syndrome that it may not be able to cleanse the system at all.

''It is very difficult. We have already caught 18 students without any special expertise. This may be the tip of the iceberg.

We may not be able to catch many at all,'' said Asom Health Minister Dr Himanta Bishwa Sharma admitting that Munnabhai type of proxy examination has completely plagued the medical education system.

Amongst the fresh recruits, 13 have been spotted, two caught during the examination itself, while three others were arrested after completing the first year of the MBBS.

''I am coming back to you in a month or so. Because there are even bigger catches to make. If we do not stop around another dozen now, they will become doctors by another four months'' said the health minister, shocked by the size of the operation.

The preliminary investigation by the CID of Asom has found the trail in Bihar from where the whole operations blueprint was carried out.

''Amongst the students we caught, there are wards of brick kiln owners. They are from Bihar. They have their education in Bihar, while their father runs Brick kiln factories in Asom. They sit the entrance examination Asom and get through by making somebody else to sit in the examinations exactly like Munnabhai,'' said Dr Sharma.
