Police have arrested the kingpin of fake certificate racket, who is an ex-employee of DAVV University, here late on Monday evening.
The police have arrested Rafique Qureshi, who was absconding since the racket was busted, from Manik Bag area. On Monday, the police got a tip-off about his presence in Manik Bagh, cordoned off the area and arrested him.
The accused has reportedly confessed of producing fake certificates for Rs 10,000 to 25,000, though the police believe that they used to charge somewhere between Rs 50,000 to Rs 80,000. Police informed that even non-residential Indians were the clients of the gang.
