Two persons were today arrested in Rohini area here for allegedly running an organised racket of selling fake educational certificates, police said.
The police nabbed Lallan Kumar Rai and Narender Arora after striking a deal through a decoy customer. The two produced a fake school leaving certificate of Bal Bharti School to the customer, following which they were arrested, police said.
The accused used to take tuitions of the academically weak students and would target their parents. "They used to offer forged migration certificates, markssheet for admission in different Universities/Open University and various schools against a big amount varying from thousands to lakh," Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav said.
'Fake' marks-sheets, school leaving certificate of Bal Bharti school and 17 duplicate seals of various schools were recovered from the accused.
Investigations show they had duped many people by using the same modus operandi. Efforts are on to nab the associates of the accused.
