Appointed as the custodian of answer sheets, Prabhakar Vaze was trusted with the task of keeping students’ papers safe. Instead, he misused his position and became the kingpin of the exam scam at Mumbai University, often sneaking answer sheets out of the campus, to his own home.

Vaze held a position of trust, but he and his accomplices would target students with ‘golden ATKT’ or a double ATKT, and would persuade them to cheat so they didn’t end up losing the whole year.
