Acting on a tip-off, the accused identified as Javed Khan, Mohammad Azharuddin, and Mohammad Riyaz, were apprehended from the Khajrana police station area, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Amarendra Singh said.
Singh said that Javed Khan, who operated a cyber cafe, was found in possession of several counterfeit mark sheets. "Javed and his associates made fake mark sheets from school to college level, especially for unemployed youth, and charged Rs 20,000 to Rs 50,000 per mark sheet," Singh stated.
