The squad, comprising Mr Venkateswara Rao and Mr Someswara Rao, collected the answer papers and handed them over to the ANU exams committee along with the slips, suggesting that the three be debarred. Mr Vali, meanwhile, refuted copying charges and said that it was a political conspiracy.
Congress leader says it’s a conspiracy
Congress leader Sk. Mastan Vali said that he was writing the exams as usual and the squad had been trying to involve him in the mass copying case since three days. He said that on
Thursday the squad came to the examination hall, showed a slip that they said was his and asked him to hand over the paper and hall ticket.
