Purposeful Scribbles?

The Times of India ran a story this morning about how a student trapped corrupt examiners. While a majority of the readers are up and arms against the teachers, it makes me wonder if there are more skeletons to be uncovered.

Did the student Satish Barot’s actually scribble the phone number just to find out how the examiners would use it? Were there any ulterior motives? Going by the marks he has supposedly scored, just 18, looks like he didn’t do that great in his exams. Did he actually want the teachers to contact him? What’s even more intriguing is--is this is a racket that has been going on? Only time will tell.

An extract here:

Barot had taken his exams in March in GL Patel School in Unjha and the paper were assessed in April. "They told me that I had scored only 18 marks in the Philosophy paper. If I wanted 40 marks, I should pay them Rs 5,000,"Barot said, adding that he had recorded the mobile phone conversations with these teachers.
