Two more students held; University officials suspect insider role

CHENNAI: The probe into the `answer sheet scam' expanded on Sunday, with
Anna University discovering that two more groups of students from Chennai's
suburbs had been involved in switching answer sheets of semester
examinations before evaluation.

University officials, who are helping the Central Crime Branch of Greater
Chennai police in the wide-ranging probe, do not rule out greater inside
involvement.

The police on Sunday arrested two more students of Valliammai Engineering
College, near here.

They were identified as Narendra Raghava (21) and Ramesh Kumar (21) from
Guduvanchery, final year Electronics and Communications Engineering
students. Seven students and three daily wagers of Anna University were
arrested on Saturday. On Sunday, all 12 were remanded to judicial custody
