Degrees on sale! Rs 55,000 for MBA
Cops have busted a major fake certificate racket; claim that many have used them to get jobs
With the arrest of Naresh Kumar (40), the Jayanagar police claim to have busted a major fake certificate racket, which was spread across India and abroad.
The accused used to sell fake degree certificates, mark sheets, and transfer certificates of various universities to failed students.
With the help of these mark sheets, many are employed with some of the reputed multi-national companies (MNCs) in India and abroad.
With the help of fake mark sheets bought from Naresh Kumar, many people have been successful in getting jobs in several reputed MNCs in India and abroad
Naresh used to sell BA, B Sc, B Com certificates for Rs 55,000 and BCA, BE, MBA, and diplomas in computer hardware, software etc for Rs 1 lakh.
Naresh with the help of Sanjay Sharma, a Delhi resident, started this business to make a quick buck and to lead a luxurious life.
JP Nagar police inspector SK Umesh said, “We were aware of the racket in the city. We tracked them for a while, and finally busted them on June 17.”
Kumar runs various institutions, namely the Indian Institute of Hardware and Technology (IIHT), Penguin and Glitz Public School and Distance Education courses in JP Nagar, K R Puram and Yelahanka areas of Bangalore.
Naresh would collect data of the failed students and send it to Sharma for printing the documents.
“He used to charge money according to the percentage the student wanted. He issued mark sheets with as high as 95 per cent marks,” Umesh said.
“Students who have studied hard are still jobless, while Naresh sold certificates of 90 per cent and above to many undeserving. In addition, he has no legal documents to run the courses in his institutes,” Umesh said.
Verification
The cops now intend writing to the MNC’s, asking them to verify certificates of their employees in case they have been issued from any of these institutions.
“When we were investigating, Naresh received a courier parcel, which upon opening, contained more fake certificates,” Umesh said
