Examination controller Devendra Singh then questioned the youth who confessed that he had forged the copy of marksheet using original marksheet of another student. The copy of the marksheet which the youth presented was issued in December 2013 and had signatures of Devendra Singh. However, Singh was not in the university at that time.

The youth admitted that he had scanned Devendra Singh’s signature and pasted it on the copy of the marksheet which was issued from Rajdhari Singh College, a centre of UPRTOU located in Ghazipur district. The identity proof which the youth showed was in the name of Lalchandra Prasad of Ghazipur district.

UPRTOU PRO Prabhat Singh said the youth was handed over to Phaphamau police and a complaint submitted for registration of an FIR against him. The examination controller had been asked to remain alert and restrict entry of outsiders on the premises, he added.

SHO of Phaphamau police station Ashish Singh informed that an FIR had been registered against Lalchandra Prasad under relevant sections of IPC and he had been sent to jail.
