As many as 18 first-year pharmacy course students at Uttar Pradesh's state-run Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal (VBSP) University in Jaunpur, were awarded passing grades or over 50% marks, after they wrote “Jai Shri Ram” and names of some cricketers (Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, among others) on their answer sheets, according to an RTI, resulting in suspension of two professors for allegedly extorting money from the students in exchange of marks.

The RTI was filed by Divyanshu Singh, a former student leader at VBSP University, in August last year (Representational Image).
