Mangaluru, Nov 17: Where there's a will to convert black money into white without paying penalty, there's always a way! And, the heads of the educational institutions in Mangaluru, the city of 'intelligent' people, have found an easiest way to counter thejihad' against black money.

1balckwhiteAccording to reliable sources, a few city based professional college, have asked some of their students, who had paid huge donations and fees a few months ago, to collect the money back in the form of denominated notes of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 and return new currency notes after exchanging them in banks.

A Keralite student of a paramedical college in Mangaluru told coastaldigest.com on condition of anonymity that many of her batch mates have been asked to return their fee receipts. The college will give them the receipts only after they help the college to exchange the denominated currency notes through their personal accounts.

Ironically, the students who had paid fees through cheques are also being used as money mules by the professional colleges. The unethical practice of the colleges has caused inconveniences to several poor parents, who had sold their gold ornaments to pay the huge donations and fees months ago.

It is learnt that some students have paid more than Rs 3 lakh donations and fees to get seats in professional courses. The parents of those students are now in a quandary as the deposit above Rs 2.5 lakh will come under scanner.
