A racket which allegedly facilitated around 25 fake admissions in top colleges of Delhi University using forged documents was today busted by Delhi police and four persons have been arrested, including a student of the varsity's Aurobindo college.
"A Crime Branch team arrested accused Sunil Panwar aka Guruji, Mohammad Zubeir, Praveen Jha and Ranchit Khurana yesterday for running the admission racket using fake mark-sheets, migration certificates, degrees, character certificates and other such papers to admit students to colleges," said ACP Crime Branch K P S Malhotra.
Some college officials are also under the scanner.
