The arrested persons include Mukesh, the kingpin of the gang who coordinated with schools and clients for admissions under the Economic Weaker Sections quota in prominent schools, said a senior police officer.
Police has also arrested a Rohini resident Anil Kumar who allegedly worked as a tout, bringing parents seeking admissions on EWS seats in good schools.
The forged documents and other related papers for admission were prepared by two other accused who were residents of Mangolpuri.

The schools are required to reserve 25 per cent of total seats for admission under the EWS category.
