Puducherry : Police in Puducherry have booked 44 students for forging documents to join the MBBS course under non-resident Indian (NRI) quota in four medical colleges in the Union territory. They will lose their seats if the case against them is proved. The anomaly came to light when convener of the centralised admission committee (Centac) Cheryl Ann Gerardine Shivan started verification following complaints about forged documents. 

“The name of certain consular staff (the signing authority) in the consulate in Dubai was spelt differently on different applications, and his signature was almost not uniform. It was then decided to forward all NRI embassy and sponsorship certificates to the various missions/posts in the different countries (for verification),” said the convener. 

in a complaint lodged at Lawspet police station. She said the missions/posts concerned have started responding to the queries raised by Centac and ascertaining the genuineness of the certificates and documents. “For those certificates determined as ‘forged’, the missions/posts themselves have recommended that necessary action as deemed fit may be taken,” she said. She said they have not received any reply from a few missions/ posts and hence approached the external affairs ministry to expedite the process. Investigation is on
