Fake degrees found in Sirsa institute, operator booked

The police have filed a case against Sitaram Bhola, the operator of Shri Sai Institute, under Sections 318(4), 336(3), 338, and 340(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The case is based on a complaint by Dr BS Bhola, Principal, Government Girls College, Rania.

The action followed a surprise raid on Thursday by the CM Flying Squad, which included Dr Bhola as the duty magistrate and two police officers. The raid took place at Shri Sai Institute in Dwarkapuri and lasted all day. Authorities uncovered fake degrees and documents of various universities, along with multiple stamps used to forge certificates.

The investigation found that the institute was creating fake degrees and certificates in exchange for money, targeting young people seeking higher education or jobs.

Residents have demanded a thorough investigation to identify those who used these fake certificates for jobs, promotions, or college admissions. They called for strict action against such individuals, who unfairly surpass deserving candidates without proper education.
