With the arrest of three persons, on Thursday, Delhi Police has busted a racket which used to get students admitted to Delhi University (DU) College in south Delhi on the basis of forged documents. The accused, including a graduate and a student of the university, used to charge anything between Rs 3-5 lakh per admission.
As narrated by a police officer, Arvind Yadav (28) used to produce fake documents himself by using forged stamps of doctors of government hospitals. He was arrested from Dwarka based on a tip-off. During the interrogation, Arvind revealed that after graduating from DU a few years ago, he started a transport business. ‘When the income from that business proved to be insufficient for his extravagant lifestyle, he decided to get into fake admission business’, said a police officer close to
the case.
He further said, soon he came into contact with another person named Daya Ram (36), who was a private school teacher in Bulandshahr and an expert in forging certificates.
In 2013, they got three students admitted into a prestigious college in South campus, including one of their associates Mukesh Mann (19), by producing forged documents, informed the officer. Sources have informed that Mukesh, who never passed his school, is now a second year student of Sociology at Sri Venkateshwara College.
Shockingly, over 10 students were admitted to the same college in 2014 on the basis of forged mark sheets, caste certificates, and even physical disability certificates.
Meanwhile, Daya Ram and Mukesh Mann were also arrested and a laptop, printer and a forged doctor’s stamp (from a government hospital) were recovered from their possession, informed police.
‘The forged documents have been recovered from the concerned college and they are being scrutinised. We are also looking if they admitted students into some other colleges as well’, the officer said.
