The Kayamkulam police probing the alleged production of fake degree certificate by former Students’ Federation of India (SFI) leader Nikhil Thomas for pursuing post-graduation have taken into custody a person who runs the Palarivattom-based agency that reportedly fabricated the certificate.
The police nabbed Saju S. Sasidharan from Palarivattom on Thursday night. He had allegedly fabricated the B.Com degree certificate in the name of Kalinga University, Raipur, using which Nikhil secured admission for M.Com at MSM college, Kayamkulam, in the 2021-23 batch.
He is also suspected to have fabricated the mark list, transfer certificate, migration certificate, and provisional certificate. “He will have to be questioned for getting more details,” said sources in the Kayamkulam police.
