A multi-crore education scam was uncovered after police investigated a reported kidnapping of a 35-year-old man named Satyendra Kumar from the fake 'BS College & University' and subsequently rescued him from Agra, revealing that he had staged the abduction himself to avoid returning money to students.
The fake institution, operating since 2022 in Mahmoodpur Nagariya village, was run by a gang where Satyendra Kumar called himself the vice-chancellor, 72-year-old Mohammed Sharif Qureshi served as principal, and a 43-year-old illiterate teaseller named Bhagwan Das was listed as the college chairman on paper.
The gang lured students with admissions into D-Pharma, B-Pharma, and BSc Nursing courses, and police recovered forged mark sheets, fake degrees, ID cards, counterfeit seals, blank checks, and examination answer sheets from the site.
