The accused, Sunil Pawar (41), Mohammed Zuber (25), Parveen Kumar (33) and Ranchit Khurana (30), have been charged for forging documents including school certificates and SC/ST certificates from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

Colleges including Hindu, Kirori Mal, Ram Lal Anand, PGDAV, Kamla Nehru, Dayal Singh and Bhagat Singh are under the scanner in the fake admissions case. Staff members from the colleges are believed to have played a role in the racket. In all 25 admissions have been reported as fake during the current academic year.
