Hyderabad trio pasted their photos on passports of students appearing for IELTS
Hyderabad's Paul Dinkar Sitaram Nunavat (25), Sai Abhishek Udaykumar Mudaliyar (23), and Joel K Shashtri Kakileti Devakrupavaram (25), were arrested yesterday for trying to appear for IELTS examination as 'bogus' students.
They were caught after police received a tip-off about impersonators during the exam on October 24 and 25.
Anil Narsingh Gharwal (26), registered a complaint with the Shivaji Nagar police station on behalf of his firm Edu Planet when he found laminated photos on some candidate's passports over the scanned ones. "They were arrested from Hotel Centurian," said Gharwal.
The trio will be in police custody till Tuesday. Investigating officer G S Katke told MiD DAY, "We suspect many more must have been involved in the racket. We will send our team to Hyderabad to nab the mastermind."
Meanwhile, Defense Counsel Advocate Ravi Jadhav, said, "The boys are innocent and have been trapped."
