Believing them, he transferred Rs.2.07 lakh and after a few days received memos for the academic year 2014, 2015 and 2016 through Prem Kumar. Later when he verified, Khaja came to know that those were fake certificates," said the Cyberabad CP.
Based on the complaint of Khaja, the police caught Prem Kumar and Venkata Bhaskar. Both of them with the help of Akhilesh Semwal, Dinesh Singh and Tajinder Singh, who works in the MG University, provided around 430 certificates to different persons.
"Venkata Bhaskar has been running the SS University Centre consultancy business at Mettuguda in Secunderabad for the last ten years and got in touch with the other suspects," the official added.
