This happened on Monday, October 28, stated a report by PTI.

As per an official at Samta Nagar police station, the FIR names Roshan Ajay Kumar Yadav and Manish Arvind Kumar Yadav. Manish had sent Roshan to impersonate him and the teacher who was the exam invigilator was Vinay Vijay Dukale.

This incident happened at Nirmala Memorial Foundation College of Commerce and Science in Kandivali, Mumbai, where the university's third-year examinations were ongoing.

Roshan Yadav confessed to his misdemeanour and the Samta Nagar police was informed by the authorities of the college.
