This is a ridiculously strangled episode of hoax and dupe. To view it from Saurabh's side, it could be true that Saurabh, did go and top this exam, which may have been conducted by some forged organisation under NASA's tag. I think instead of talking to Santosh's cousin and every Tom-Dick&Harry about the clarification, its better if Saurabh is asked to provide an original of his certificate and it is later duly verified from the authorities for genuineness. Overall, it shows how foolish can Indian media be, just in the rat-race to get the scoop first, without verification. Also, one more surprising thing is the callousness and laxity the Rashtrapati Bhavan showed in clarifying the issue. The report of Kalam appearing in the exam appeared a week ago in all leading dailies, but the Bhavan passed its clarification denying it, only on Tuesday, after it was discovered that all claims were hoax. What were they waiting for ?
