Bhavnagar: Aide of Class XII repeater appears as dummy in exam

RAJKOT: Bhavnagar police arrested a Class XII student and his aide who had appeared as a dummy for him in the Class XII repeaters’ board exam in Bhavnagar on Wednesday.
According to police, the principal of the Sister Nivedita Vidyalay in Bhavnagar, Suresh Yadav, received a phone call informing him about a dummy student appearing on behalf of the Class XII (science) student in his school. The board exam for Class XII is on across the state for those who had failed during the main board exam.
“The caller had given specific information that one Gautam Baraiya was appearing on behalf of a Class XII student who is a resident of Bhankhal village in Sihor taluka of Bhavnagar. When the principal inquired, the information turned out to be true. The principal handed both the student and Gautam to the police for further action,” sources said.
A primary probe revealed that the Class XII student had forged the signature and stamp of the principal of B B Shah High School on the hall ticket and also stuck Gautam's photo instead of his on it.
