Politico claims scam in Amravati varsity too

According to him, a friend and he discovered the bundle on the roadside in Patansavangi, some 25 km from Nagpur on the road towards Chhindwara.

It is a mystery, he said, as to how confidential material from Amravati University landed up in Patansavangi. He expressed suspicion that exposure of the Nagpur University racket had scared similar racketeers in Amravati University and they wanted to destroy evidence.

A scrutiny of the documents, he said, reveals attempts at overwriting in many marklistcounterfoils, issue of more than one marklist to the same student and other evidence of malpractices. The bundle also had some blank marklists with only the names and roll numbers entered.

He also produced a bunch of used examination forms complete with the photographs of students and original marklists attached to them.

The documents also show that marklists for the summer 1997 examination were prepared as late as June, 1998, though the rules say that the process should be completed in three months.

Bankar said he has written to Maharashtra Governor and Chancellor Dr P C Alexander and also to Vice-Chancellor of Amravati University Dr S T Deshmukh.

The recovery of this confidential material calls for a CBI inquiry, he said.
