Fake degree racket busted, 28 arrested
The Allahabad police detected a racket involving the sale of fake degrees of the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan late on Tuesday night.
Twenty-eight people were arrested and thousands of fake degree
certificates and Rs 2.27 lakh in cash were recovered from their
possession.
Those arrested include Jagat Narayan and Deepak, both clerks in the Sammelan's office, and 26 buyers from Bihar and Jharkhand.
Kydganj station officer Ajay Seth said the police raided a hotel
in Rambagh after receiving a complaint from a Jharkhand-based person
that some officials of the Sammelan were selling fake degrees in the
hotel room.
According to the police, the Shiksha Visharad degree of the
Sammelan was earlier equivalent to the BEd degree and a degree-holder
was eligible for a teacher's job in government schools.
In 2004, however, the state government derecognised the degree and subsequently, the Sammelan also stopped conferring it.
The Patna High Court, however, in its November 4 order, validated
the Shiksha Visharad for jobs in Bihar, leading to a sudden increase in
the demand for the degree.
The police said job seekers from Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand
and Uttar Pradesh had been obtaining the degree for Rs 5,000 from
Narayan and Deepak.
Thousands of fake degrees had been sold in UP since the Patna High Court passed its order, sources said.
Jivesh, a resident of Bihar, had paid the amount to obtain the
degree but escaped the police net because he was not present during the
raid in the hotel.
He said: "I came to know about the degree from my friends in
Bihar. I wanted to get it for my wife, who is applying for the job of a
government teacher in Hazjipur."
District police chief A M Jain said: "I will recommend imposition of the National Security Act against the accused."
