A student who failed in eighth grade was given a pass using whitener; his secret was revealed when he got a government job.

News Topical, Digital Desk : A fraud that had been buried for years was exposed when a young man's original eighth-grade marksheet surfaced during document verification for a government job.

In 2006, a failed student at the Sarkanda Government Primary School was shown as having passed using a whitener, and the school records were recorded accordingly, so that the truth would never come out. Now, 19 years later, when the original records were matched, it was discovered that the student had not even appeared for the supplementary exam, and the entire scheme was orchestrated with the connivance of the school.

Student passed by applying whitener

Ravi Kumar Yadav, a student at the Government Primary School, Sarkanda, had just taken his Class 8th examination. He failed in two subjects. Despite this, the school management, in collusion with the school, erased his original marks from his mark sheet and replaced them with new ones. This marked the student as having passed. Based on this fraudulent mark sheet, he was admitted to Class 9th without any hindrance.

To conceal this massive fraud, the school management's internal records were manipulated to ensure the secret would never come out. Nineteen years later, student Ravi Kumar secured a government job and went to the DEO's office for document verification. During the investigation, it was discovered that Ravi Yadav had failed two subjects and had not even appeared for the supplementary exam.

During the document verification process, the student was found to have failed the exam after examining the original records available with the DEO's office. DEO Vijay Tande, considering this a serious misconduct and a tampering with education, issued an immediate notice to the then-principal and the concerned teachers. He clarified that after the investigation is complete, strict punitive action will be taken against the culprits, as this unethical act could have a devastating impact on the future of hard-working students.

This is how it came to light that school records have also been tampered with.

At Sarkanda School, student Ravi Yadav failed in two subjects in the eighth grade. However, with the connivance of school staff, the marks were changed using whitener on the failed marksheet, and the student was admitted to ninth grade on this basis. When school documents were sought from the DEO's office, it was revealed that the marks in the school records had also been altered to match the fake marksheet.
