The revelations made by the arrested accused during interrogation shocked even the police. The accused confessed that they used to prepare fake degrees of High School, Intermediate, Graduation, Post Graduation (PG), LLB and even Pharmacy. The gang had even got fake migration booklets printed in the name of Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University (CSJMU). By using the fake seal of the Deputy Registrar, these miscreants had till now issued more than 80 fake migration certificates.

Fake marksheets were being made in the name of renowned universities

Among the documents recovered in the police raid, apart from Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Council, fake mark sheets and certificates of renowned institutions like Mangalayatan University, JS University, Sikkim Professional University, Himalayan University and Swami Vivekananda Subharti University have been found. This gang not only created new degrees, but also played the game of increasing the marksheet with low marks into ‘merit’.

The arrested accused included MBA dropouts and those preparing for recruitment.

The arrested accused have been identified as Shailendra Kumar (Rae Bareli), Nagendra Mani Tripathi (Kaushambi), Jogendra (Ghaziabad/Delhi) and Ashwani Kumar Singh (Unnao). Interestingly, the main member of the gang, Shailendra himself is a graduate and had left his MBA studies midway, while Jogendra had filled the form for recruitment in police and army, but after not being selected, he entered the world of crime. The police are now actively searching for other gang members Ravi alias Manish (Hyderabad), Vineet (Ghaziabad), Shubham Dubey (Chhatarpur) and Mayank Bhardwaj (Manipur).
