I couldn’t believe my good luck. I pleaded with my friend if I could somehow have a ‘darshan’ of this great man. My friend explained it was not that easy to see his uncle. "So what, let’s fix an appointment with your uncle," I asked. "No, that’s not possible, because at the moment he’s in police custody", my friend explained. "So he operates from the jail with the help of the police?" "No, when the papers become public and the university has to cancel the exams, the police have to arrest him," my friend informed me. I had a new respect for my friend’s uncle. "It’s a very dangerous business to be in because you can land in the jail anytime". My friend clarified, "Actually when in jail, he’s most safe. Here he has no fear of being attacked by parents who demand their money back if the papers are confiscated before the exams."

"MY
uncle is a great educationist", boasted my friend. "Is he a
professor?" I asked. "No, in the eyes of students he’s much
more respected!" "Then he must surely be a private
tutor", I guessed. "Arre he’s a kingpin in the paper leak
business. Parents and students run after him with lakhs stuffed in their
pockets!"
