1,135 students got jobs in Maharashtra using fake marksheets
Date: 03-Feb-2010
AMRAVATI: Over 1000 students of Maharashtra universities
secured jobs after submitting fake marksheets, according to a CBI report.
The fake marksheet scam came to the fore after an investigation by the CBI on
the direction of the Bombay High Court on a PIL in 2007.
The PIL had alleged that many of the employees working in government and
private sectors had got the job after submitting bogus documents, and sought a
probe.
After hearing the PIL, the High Court directed the CBI to investigate the
matter. The CBI, on December 26, 2009, wrote to all the universities in
Maharashtra asking for verification of the marksheets.
Verification revealed that 1,135 students from six universities had landed jobs
using fake marksheets (obtained between 2001 and 2007), police sources said,
quoting the CBI report.
The maximum 729 cases of fake marksheets were identified at Pune University,
followed by Mumbai (237), Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj University, Nagpur (92),
Shivaji University, Kolhapur (42), Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar University, Aurangabad
(18) and Sant Gadgebaba University, Amravati (17).
The CBI will now be submitting the report to the High Court and may seek
direction to take action against these students, the sources said.
