Three months after a marksheet sent to LD Arts college by a Mumbai company for verification hinted at a fraud, the college recently received another marksheet from another firm bearing the same man.
The case relates to TY BA marksheets of a certain Ahluwalia Anil Bulandigpal Singh, who’s been trying for a job in Mumbai on the basis of fake marksheets but runs into trouble each time the marksheet is sent to LD for verification. This time, however, the college authorities have stumbled upon a clue that could reveal the identify of the elusive owner of the marksheet. AM had reported of the fraud on June 20.
Eight days ago, LD Arts received FY, SY and TY marksheets of Ahluwalia Anil by a Mumbai firm for verification of credentials, unlike earlier occasions when just the TY marksheet was sent.
College authorities this time weren’t content with declaring the marksheet fictitious, they got down to sifting records to identify the sender. A close scrutiny of all names figuring Ahluwalia threw up one record which resembled the marks contained in the fake marksheet.
The marksheet recovered belonged to one Sunil Bulandigpal Singh Ahluwalia — BA student from 2000 to 2002.The marksheet Ahluwalia Anil submitted referred to the period 1999-2001. The address of both ‘students’ read Chandkheda. Even more intriguingly, the marks in both marksheets are identical.
College authorities Anil could be Sunil’s brother, and could have tampered with his marksheet to make it look like his own. It was likely the man had made a duplicate of the marksheet or altered it to insert his name, they said. LD Arts principal Mahipatsinh Chawda said,
“It’s a very serious issue of marksheet fraud. We have sent the marksheet received from Mumbai to the Gujarat University and wrote back to the firm that the document was fake. It is up to GU to decide what action to take. It can lodge an FIR in the matter.”
Two of Ahluwalia’s ‘marksheets’ had been received by LD college in the space of six months earlier this year.
