The recent investigation into the fake certificates racket has releveled that over two dozen people went abroad using fake certificates for higher education or work.
The ongoing investigation into the inter-state fake certificate racket has shown that at least two dozen of the over 200 students who paid for it have already gone to the UK, US, Canada, UAE, and Australia for higher education or employment.
Police officers arrested another education consultant involved in the racket being operated out of Bhopal’s Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (SRK) University on Monday, revealing the role of a Telugu professor, E Vijay Kumar, of the varsity. Kumar, the EEE department’s head, comes from Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh. His name has now been added to the list of absconding accused, which also includes numerous top officials of the private university.

PK Veeranna Swamy of VS Global Educational Services in Chaderghat, the education consultant arrested on Monday, had obtained 19 fake SRK varsity certificates in three years. Clients paid him somewhere between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 3.5 lakh. Six purchasers have been arrested.
