Chennai : A Class XII student and his unsuspecting parents found themselves in hot water after presenting a forged NEET scorecard that boasted of an impressive 698 marks out of 720. The student’s actual score was only 129. Their visit to the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University office on Tuesday was meant to secure admission to Madras Medical College (MMC), but it quickly turned into an inquiry at Kilpauk police station. 

According to police, the student had scored 129 in this year's test. Frustrated by his low scores, he devised a plan to create fake marksheets. He sought help from two of his friends and crafted a scorecard that inflated his marks to 698 out of 720. Police said the parents were unaware of their son's scheme. Armed with the fraudulent scorecard, the student and his parents approached the university office to inquire about his admission status. University officials scrutinized the document and discovered it was forged. They alerted police. Acting on a complaint filed by Dr Karamath, deputy director of medical education (DDME), Kilpauk police registered a case and arrested the aspiring medical student. A hunt is now underway for his two aides, one of whom is employed at a photocopy centre in Adya
