Kerala police question University College faculty
Probe on to trace the provenance of answer sheet leak
07/08/2019 , Special Correspondent , Thiruvananthapuram
The Kerala police have recorded the statements of several members of the University College faculty as part of their investigation into the seizure of blank varsity answer sheets from Students Federation of India (SFI) leaders indicted for the near-fatal knife attack on a student, Akhil Chandran, on the campus last month.
A senior officer said here on Tuesday that the police were likely to press criminal charges once they zeroed in on the college authorities responsible for the answer paper leak. The police are attempting to find out whether any college insider had conspired with the SFI leaders and handed over the unused answer sheets to them instead of returning them to the Kerala University.
The police had questioned the current and former principals of the college and other teachers responsible for the safe custody of unused answer books.
A police raid on the house of prime suspect Shivarenjith, a campus leader of the SFI, had yielded 83 answer sheet bundles.
The police have sought the custody of Pranav, another SFI leader arrested for the attack on Akhil. They had found his admission number on several answer sheets recovered from a college room which the SFI had been using as its unit office.
BJP State president P.S. Sreedharan Pillai sought a CBI probe into the alleged malpractices in the PSC exams.
Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha State president K.P. Prakash Babu said his organisation would seek a CBI probe into all PSC recruitments in the past 10 years.
The scandal had shown the varsity in poor light and raised serious questions about the integrity of the examinations conducted on the SFI-dominated college campus.
