"The surname of the girl, which is Dutta, created a suspicion. However, she was given a conditional admission and an enquiry was set up," he said. "An executive magistrate was sent to Godda, her native place, on November 10 to verify the details provided by her. It was found that she faked the certificate to get admission on a quota meant for tribals," he said. Her admission has been cancelled, and legal action recommended, he added.
