In a letter addressed to the CM, Jaiswal mentions that during Dr. Sukre's tenure, there has been significant corruption. A written complaint was submitted to the then Chief Minister and current Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, as well as the Medical Education Minister Hasan Mushrif. Both ministers had ordered an inquiry, but officials in the medical education department have ignored their directives. Therefore, Jaiswal has demanded that Dr. Sukre be removed from the position immediately and an investigation into the corruption be conducted. Jaiswal has also requested that Dr. Sanjay Rathod, who had previously taken charge as the Dean through the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC), be reinstated in the role.

"If found guilty, they will be exposed"

"I have made the demand for an inquiry based on the complaints I received. After the investigation, it will be clear whether they are guilty or not."
