160 FIRs in 2 years over fake law degrees

“"All my documents were changed by Panchal and Yadav. I’m the victim here. I complained to BCI. I had also surrendered my certificate (of practicing) voluntarily"”

“"I immediately gave my complaint to the BCI after I found out about my suspension. My certificates which were used were fake…I’ve been cheated"”

“"So that means any of the degrees that the university gives won’t be recognized as per the UGC"”

“"…during the course of the arguments, Ld. Counsel had admitted that he has not done graduation in Law from Bundelkhand University but has studied from Bhartiya Shiksha Parishad, Uttar Pradesh and as on date the same has not been recognised by the Education Department as the University affiliated and recognised to give law degrees. Considering the totality of facts and circumstances and taking note of the serious allegations not just against the applicant herein but others named in the investigation who run a syndicate in facilitating enrollment in Bar Council(s) on the basis of fake documents, in order to unearth the conspiracy behind and to reach out to other members of the syndicate, custodial interrogation of the applicant may be needed"”

“"There have been 160 FIRs in Delhi in relation to fraud degrees of lawyers (since 2023). The BCD has got these FIRs filed. In Delhi, there is a gang of fake lawyers being run…this is a nexus. On the basis of fake degrees, they’re seeking enrolments"”

“"All the degrees are verified by the Bar Council after speaking to universities. We had sent his LLB degree to Bundelkhand University. They said it was fake. A big nexus is being run here. He can’t speak in Hindi, but the documents he gave were in Hindi. Without his interrogation, the scam won’t be uncovered. He himself said Rs 1 lakh was demanded… this was not fees"”
