Miscreant forges Australian embassy documents to secure NRI seat

Bengaluru: A criminal complaint has been filed against a man on charges of producing fake documents, including an Australian embassy letter, logo, and other documents, in a bid to help a student seeking an MBBS seat through the undergraduate National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (UG-NEET). The complainant, Islauddin J Gadyal, administrative officer at Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), filed the complaint with Malleswaram police under various BNS Sections, including 318 (cheating) and 336 (forgery). According to the FIR, the suspect is identified as Raghu, a resident of Nelamangala. "The application, under the NRI quota, submitted by the student was scanned between July 14 and 17. Then, we discovered that the seal, designations of officials, and their signatures were missing in the letters claimed to have been issued by the Australian embassy. Also, one letter, which claimed to be from the Australian govt, had the Ashoka Chakra emblem at the top," stated Gadyal's complaint.
