Dhenkanal: A former college principal has been arrested for allegedly running a fake Plus II certificate racket in Odisha’s Dhenkanal district.

According to sources, Atal Bhiari Barik was serving as principal of Birasal Regional College under Kankadahada police limits in the district from 2009 to 2016. During this period, he used to arrange fake Plus II certificates and sell those to the students at a hefty amount. He was reportedly charging lakhs of rupees per each certificate.
