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

The scandal involved leaking question papers, rigging answer sheets and hiring bright students as impersonators to sit for candidates, as well as selling medical school seats to the highest bidder.

As the investigations continue, officials have already confirmed hundreds of candidates were found to have cheated to gain admission to medical colleges between 2008 and 2013.
