Hyderabad: A job racketeer was arrested for fabricating around 100 fake educational certificates of various universities and institutes. Police said Mhd Zubair, 43, charged Rs 60,000 for MBA certificates, Rs 80,000 for B.Tech certificates and Rs 40,000 for MCA certificates. Zubair, who was earlier booked for cheating people by offering jobs in MNCs, started the new business a few months after he went absconding in the first criminal case. The west zone commissioner’s task force arrested him on Saturday after a raid on his office at Panjagutta.
Police found that Zubair had also started a bogus education institute named ‘National Institute of Management and Engineering Studies’ and floated the website www.nimes.in. He called himself ‘director’ of the institute, and gave advertisements offering courses. “This institute is neither recognised nor affiliated to any university. But his advertisements claimed otherwise and offered degrees in arts, science, commerce, business management, engineering and health sciences. But what he really does is to take money from students and give them forged certificates,” said a senior official.
Police said that Zubair produced certificates of Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidhya-pith, Madurai Kamaraj University, Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Univ-ersity, Kanpur, Sathyaimrao Ambedkar University, Agra, Manav Bharti University, Board of Secondary Education Okhla, Delhi, Vinayaka Missions University, Board of Secondary Education, Madhya Bharat, Gwalior, and the Gandhi Institute of Technology and Management for his customers.
A resident of Kanchanbagh, Zubair started a consultancy named Quick Job Solutions in Malakpet in 2011. He took money from many people offering them jobs in MNCs but later closed down his office and absconded. Chaderghat police had booked a case against him then. Later, he surfaced with a new fraud.
