Investigation has revealed that the game of distributing fake degrees was going on through brokers. Fake certificates and degrees were issued by the university even without a recognized course.
The entire university was based on fraud
The DIG said – Investigation has revealed that the accused university operators also committed fraud in admissions. Admissions were given on back date. Business of issuing fake sports certificates was done in connivance with brokers. Admissions were given in the university by playing the game in a wrong way and giving fake sports certificates. To hide their fraud, they have said that the records from the year 2016 to the year 2020 have been burnt. On the other hand, the answer of right or wrong was being given to the concerned department regarding degree verification.
Total staff of 27 people in the university
Paris Deshmukh told that fraud came to light even after checking the records of teachers in the university. There are salary accounts of 27-28 people in the university. Out of these, 8-10 are non-teaching staff. The number of courses being run in the university is 18. The university has only 27-28 people to conduct 18 courses. This is also a big fraud. With many discrepancies coming to light, the foundation of the entire university is coming to the fore on fraud. The work of the university was only to distribute fake degrees. Two cases have already been registered against the accused Jogendra Singh. He has also been arrested in this case.
Most fake degrees distributed in North India
People are working in government departments with fake degrees in various departments of Rajasthan. The education department has been informed in this regard. The process of re-verification has been started by the department. Investigation has revealed that the maximum number of fake degrees have been distributed by the university in North India. After the deal was finalised by the university, fake degrees were distributed by showing admission. While giving fake degrees, 50-60 percent more money was demanded from the students.
The degree was given only when the student insisted on paying the deal amount. When the department asked for a response from the university for degree verification for a government job, it was refused. When the student contacted the university again, the amount demanded earlier was demanded. On giving the money, the department used to get the verification done by telling that the university had sent the report by mistake.
