CBI Arrests in Chhattisgarh Medical College Bribery Case
Some doctors and administrators are in trouble because they took a bribe.
The CBI says they took money to give a medical college a good review, even if it wasn't deserved.

The CBI caught them and is now investigating.
The doctors and administrators are accused of working together to cheat the system.
