And this is just one of the many shocking aspects that provide a tell-tale commentary on the lackadaisical approach of the men in authority at Nagpur University.

Moreover, the beneficiaries of such extra-efficient revaluations belonged to either first or second year medical courses as it has now transpired from the scrutiny of the voluminous records confiscated by the police from the university godown.

A crack team of 10 police officials, headed by DCP (Zone I) Sanjay Kumar and ACP (Sitabuldi) Kunwar Bharat Singh Dogra, is working overtime on these records, coming across surprising details at consistent intervals. The scrutiny commenced on Monday morning after the police got some valuable leads from the interrogation of arrested godown superintendent Vitthal Hedao andwent on till late evening.

To mention a few, noted from the scrutiny of first and second year medical answer sheets for 1998, the signatures of invigilators on the main answer sheets and the supplementary answer sheets do not tally.

In one case, marks have increased by attaching supplementary answer sheets even after the examinee has rounded up his answers with a `The End' mark on the main answer sheet.

In another case, supplementary answer sheets, collected from old storage material have been attached to the main answer sheets and the marks increased accordingly. In certain cases, entire answer sheets which had undergone revaluation were missing.

Yet another finding shows that the marks on the admission forms, submitted by candidates seeking admission to the B.Ed. course, have been increased and admission duly granted.

One such case reveals that a candidate completed his B.Ed. course from the SK Wankhede College of Education by securing admission in similar fashion in 1998.

Earlier, Hedao wasproduced in a local court which remanded him to police custody till July 12. During interrogations, he admitted to several irregularities that had become almost a regular practice in the university.

The police are also likely to move the High Court against the Special Court (Prevention of Corruption)'s order continuing the stay on the police remand granted to Kohchade on June 29.

Through a revision plea filed on June 30 before the special court, Kohchade's lawyers had challenged the 14-day remand granted to the accused on the ground that the police did not seek the court's permission prior to obtaining a production warrant from the JMFC.
