The Satellite police on Monday arrested one Rinkesh Chauhan for making and selling fake mark-sheets. He was produced in court on Tuesday from where he was sent to one-day police remand.
The fake mark-sheets were allegedly issued in the name of an institute in the city that runs various diploma courses. Chauhan was arrested on the complaint of the institute's owner, 33-year-old Pathik Panchal. Police said 22-year-old Chauhan, a resident of Vallabhnagar society in Odhav, used to work as a sales
executive at Panchal's institute.
Chauhan had resigned only a month back after working at the institute for four months. One Mahendra Khumaji, (23), a student of the institute had approached Panchal and asked him for a bogus B.Com mark-sheet. Panchal refused to oblige him but enquired about the fake mark-sheets. Khumaji said that Rinkesh Chauhan, who used to work at the institute earlier, had been making them.
Panchal then asked Khumaji to help him trap Chauhan. Khumaji agreed and, on Panchal's advice, Khumaji called Chauhan and asked him to prepare B.Com mark-sheets of first year, second year and third year. Chauhan agreed for Rs11,000 and said the mark-sheets would be ready in two months.
The two-month period ended on Monday. Chauhan called up Khumaji and told him that the mark-sheets he had ordered were ready. Unaware of the trap laid for him, Chauhan went there with the mark-sheets and was caught red-handed by Khumaji and Panchal. The duo handed him over to the Satellite police.
PSI SB Nikam, who is the investigating officer of the case, said Chauhan's father owned a colour photo studio. Chauhan used to take coloured photocopies of the original mark-sheets and make duplicates from them.
Police have seized the laptop in which Chauhan had saved all his duplicate mark-sheets. Nikam further said that Chauhan was facing a severe financial crisis and this had forced him into this criminal activity.
The investigating officer of the case added that the Satellite police were investigating further to find out whether he was involved in any other cheating cases earlier.
