The Special Operations Group in Rajasthan has detained another individual accused of supplying forged MA Hindi certificates from Mahar... University, bringing the total arrests in the professor recruitment fraud to 16.
The Special Operations Group (SOG) in Rajasthan has taken another step in a growing investigation into a fake‑degree racket that targeted the recruitment of university professors. The probe, which began after several candidates were found to hold fraudulent academic credentials, has now resulted in the arrest of an additional suspect.
Police allege that the newly apprehended individual supplied a counterfeit MA in Hindi certificate and accompanying mark‑sheet purportedly issued by Mahar... University. The forged documents were used to secure a teaching position in the state’s higher‑education system.
With this latest detention, the number of people taken into custody in connection with the case has risen to 16. Authorities say the arrests are part of a coordinated effort to dismantle a network that fabricated academic qualifications for lucrative government jobs.
The crackdown highlights the vigilance of law‑enforcement agencies in Rajasthan against recruitment fraud, which undermines merit‑based selection and erodes public trust in the education sector.
