Students fake chickenpox to cheat in examination

Two students in India who feigned having chicken pox, and thus quanrantined off in a secluded class, were caught cheating on exams and using their mobile phones, reports Navhind Times on the Web.

"Quarantined examinees, usually those who suffer from contagious diseases, write their examinations in seclusion and vigilance for such students can, at times, be less strict.

At the examination hall, the students were allowed to sit with the quarantined students inside mosquito nets. As the examination began, the two got busy writing their papers. Suddenly, an invigilator noticed them using mobile phones.

They were caught, questioned and their bluff was called. The cheating students confessed they had feigned their disease to be able to sit in isolation and cheat with ease."
