    Three Post masters sacked for fake certificates

    Kendrapara: India Post Department on Monday reportedly sacked as many as three branch post masters in Kendrapara district for furnishing fake educational certificates to get jobs.

    The three post masters who have been sacked have been identified as Prassana Kumar Sethi, Soumya Ranjan Sethi and Mamashree Bharati, said sources adding that all of them are the residents of Bhadrak district.

    Informing about the development, Postal Superintendent of Kendrapara division, Debaraj Sethi, said that during the verification of certificates, it was found out that the trio had furnished fake educational certificates to get jobs which is why they have been terminated from their services.

    It is to be noted here that one Anita Jena of Bhadrak district had applied for the post of a Gramin Dak Sevak (GDS) in Kendrapara division. She had submitted a matriculation certificate which was issued in the name of Adarsh Arya SS High School at Hardoi in Uttar Pradesh.

    However, the concerned officials of the Post Department during the verification of certificates found out that Jena’s matriculation certificate was fake. Following this, the department verified the certificates of others and subsequently Prassana Kumar Sethi, Soumya Ranjan Sethi and Mamashree Bharati were caught.

    Sources said that one of the trio was working for the last two years and the two accused had joined duties six months ago.

    It is to be noted here that such fake certificate case had come to the fore in Balangir district last month. More than 19 persons were arrested for their involvement in the fake certificate racket. Taking a serious note of the case, the Crime Branch of Odisha Police took over the case.

    High Court reprimanded the inquiry committee for verifying the certificates, why not weed out the true-fake degrees

    Shimla. The State High Court has once again reprimanded the inquiry committee which verified the detailed marks certificates issued to the students by Manav Bharti University. A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Sabina and Justice Satyen Vaidya expressed surprise that even three years after the fake degree scam came to light, the inquiry committee could not sort out the genuine degrees awarded to the students and the fake degrees. The court reprimanded the inquiry committee and said that this court will not let the affected students wait for decades for their hard-earned degrees. Out of about 2300 degree holders, about 250 students have written letters to the court or approached the high court through private petitions, pleading to get their original degrees back. The applicants said that due to lack of sponsor in their names from the university, they are not even getting admission for higher education.

    The future of hundreds of innocent students like him is being played with and no one is giving priority to understanding their situation. Describing the criteria set by the Screening Committee as very strict, the applicants said that it is extremely difficult to get degrees on the basis of those criteria. As per the order of the court, the committee was ordered to fix such criteria on the basis of which copies of documents can be given to the students. It is noteworthy that as per the directions of the High Court, the Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Commission had ordered to constitute a committee to investigate and verify the documents related to fake degrees of Manav Bharti University.
