DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 15 (MExN): The case of the alleged fake certificate pertaining to Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio took a u-turn on Monday after the Principal of Kohima College tendered a ‘Statement of Apology’ for issuing wrong certificate to Rio.
In the ‘Statement of Apology,’ Kohima College principal, Dr Watijungshi maintained that Neiphiu Rio graduated from Kohima College, Kohima in the year 1978 as per the records of the college.
The college issued a Provisional Passed Certificate on his request on December 4, 2012 with serial no. 1480, bearing roll no. 436 in the year 1978 under NEHU.
However, the “said certificate was issued wrongly as BA Passed with Political Science Honours instead of BA General Pass Course.” Following this, the certificate was rectified and a Provisional BA Pass Certificate was issued to him on October 9, 2015, stated the principal.
In this regard, the college authority has expressed regret for the error committed and apologized to Neiphiu Rio for the inconvenience created.
