The State Director charged the security agents to do a thorough job so that the truth would come out and justice is done to the affected persons. She stated that there is a similar case involving a female corps member, also a foreign student but the verification officer was yet to conclude internal investigation into her case.
Stating their own side of the matter, the suspected fake corps members claimed they graduated from the institution but admitted to forging their verification papers.
