A cash-for-marks scam has been detected in Assam in which eight people have been arrested. The men, the police say, have been conducting digital tampering of marksheets. The police stumbled on the scam during an investigation into the discrepancies in the marksheet of a student from Ganesh Lal Choudhury College, which is affiliated to Gauhati University. The police are widening the scope of the investigation as more arrests are expected.

The college had lodged a complaint with the police over the discrepancies in the marksheet of Azizul Haque. The marksheets displayed inflated marks when compared with the marks he actually obtained.

During interrogation, the student admitted that he paid Rs 10,000 to get his marks changed in the first, third, fourth and fifth semesters.
