          Also the college is powerful and that person may have political backing.

            This is too vague to assess. Whether any legal remedy is available will depend on the context. Was this a university examination or an internal test? Was any reason given for marking the paper zero? Was there any disciplinary action or academic misconduct alleged? You will need to get more clarity from the institution first. Once the facts are clear, there may be internal grievance mechanisms or legal options depending on the situation.

                University exam. No one in the world except someone who wants personal gains checks paper like that .

                    Since this was a university exam, your first step should be to check whether the university has a formal process for re-evaluation or academic grievances. Most institutions have some internal mechanism, and you should file a written representation as soon as possible.

                    If the paper was genuinely marked arbitrarily without explanation, that is something you can raise within the system. Whether there is any legal remedy beyond that would depend on how the university responds and whether you are looking to escalate it further. For now, focus on getting a written record of your complaint.

                        University evaluation process is not fair. They won’t show answer sheets.

                            Courts generally require that you first use the remedies available within the system. Unless you can show that you attempted re-evaluation and filed a formal grievance and received no response or an arbitrary one, no court will intervene.
