The Delhi Police arrested the alleged kingpin Inderjeet Singh alias Kaku (35) on Wednesday — who used to help students secure admission in Delhi University’s colleges using fake documents — from Haridwar, where he was living at his uncle’s house.
The racket was busted on July 30 with the arrest of four persons identified as Sunil Panwar aka Guruji, Mohammad Zubeir, Praveen Jha and Ranchit Khurana.
Police are now looking for the kingpin’s main associate, who was involved in a similar scam around four years ago, said officials.
Singh had fled from Delhi on July 29 after four of his associates were arrested, said a senior police official.
The accused were found to be involved in around 25 fake admissions in leading colleges of the university, including Hindu College, Kirori Mal College, Aurobindo College (evening), Dayal Singh College (morning and evening), Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, Kamla Nehru College and Ram lal Anand college.
As many as 10 admissions were secured in Shaheed Bhagat Singh College alone, said the official. Police are now looking for Kaku’s neighbour-cum-associate Himanshu Gupta (30), who was once arrested in connection with another DU admission scam in 2011.
