A Syndicate member of the University of Calicut has sought a detailed judicial probe into the reported missing of answer scripts from various colleges.
P. Rasheed Ahammed, member aligned to the United Democratic Front, said in a letter to Vice-Chancellor M.K. Jayaraj that “there is a mafia that steals, replaces, and returns answer scripts to help certain students”.
He claimed that the sixth semester papers of B.Sc Psychology in a self-financing college in Malappuram were lost recently. They were found in a waste bin of the Pareeksha Bhavan on Saturday. He said that there was no record of the answer scripts with the monitoring cell of the university. The college authorities, however, maintain they had sent them. Who received them is unclear.
