Why is the prison term different for different fake degree fraudsters? The fine of 5,000 rupees – is that a joke or what? These scums took bribes in the hundreds of thousands of rupees!!! They swipe their rotten bottoms with 5,000 rupees. Jail term needs to be consistent for all fake degree scums and fine should be more and 500,000 rupees.
