AHMEDABAD: Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) examination secretary, Dinesh Patel, has asked DEO, Ahmedabad city, PB Gadhvi, to lodge a complaint in the dummy writer scam.

Gadhvi has been asked to lodge complaint against the parents of two students - Harsh Kotak and Komal Patel, who were caught faking injuries and using dummy writers in the class XII science board exams - the doctors who gave them the false certificates and the unidentified people who entered the exam centre posing as members of the invigilation squad. This was in response to an RTI application.

The administration was going slow in the case and except for barring the accused students from taking the class XII exam till 2011, no other legal action was initiated against the others as advised by the examination committee.

"This communication was sent to Gadhvi by the end of August, to which he had replied that the proceedings of the executive committee be sent to him since it is a legal process. This was also sent 15 days ago," said a senior GSHSEB official.

When Gadhvi was asked about the development, he said, "I never received any letter asking to take steps against the parents of the accused students, impostor invigilators and doctors. I would have definitely followed the orders if I had received something."
