The Delhi Police has registered a cheating and forgery case following the complaint of Arun Attri, the chief admission coordinator of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College. In his complaint, Attri said that after scrutinising the admission forms, it came to fore that around 18 students secured admission after submitting forged documents in 2013-14 sessions. The forensic teams had been inspecting the documents and found the illegality during their audit of Delhi University colleges.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (south), B S Jaiswal said, “We have registered a case under Sections 420, 468, 471 120-B of the Indian Penal Code at Malviya Nagar police station of South Delhi. Further investigation is on.”
Investigation revealed that some of these students had submitted forged marksheets, while others gave forged caste certificates. After the scrutiny of all the forms, 18 students were cancelled as documents.
The Delhi University was rocked by fake admissions in 2011. In June that year, police had busted a racket wherein students were provided fake caste certificates for `3-5 lakh and arrested of three youths. The forgers had managed to get 12 students admitted in various DU colleges. Four months later, in November 2011, another admission scandal has broken out with police finding four cases of fake marksheets being used to get seats in Ramjas College.
