The Delhi Police have managed to catch hold of, and expose a gang running 27 fake education websites that provide fake class 10, 12, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as mark sheets.
The complainant then tried to apply for a passport in his hometown of Sikar, Rajasthan where the regional passport office had denied the passport, claiming that his class 10 certificates were not genuine.
“They accused have sold several educational qualification certificates to thousands of people. They used to get these clients using advertisements in local newspapers. The fake websites are so convincing that the victims cannot tell the difference,” the officer added.
The rates for obtaining the fake mark sheets and degrees were Rs 10,000 for Class 10, Rs 20,000 for class 12, Rs 50,000 for undergraduate courses and Rs 1,00,000 for professional courses.
