Kerala University on Wednesday cancelled the MCom registration of former Students Federation of India (SFI) leader Nikhil Thomas who allegedly submitted a forged degree certificate for admission at Milad E-Sherif Memorial (MSM) College, Kayamkulam.
The university also cancelled the eligibility certificate issued to prove equivalency for the BCom course he had claimed to have pursued at Kalinga University in Raipur. The move follows a formal correspondence sent by Kalinga University to Kerala University confirming that the documents, including the degree certificate and mark lists, produced by Mr. Thomas were fake.
Kerala University Vice-Chancellor in-charge Mohanan Kunnummal directed the Registrar to hand over the response sent by Kalinga University as well as the documents furnished by the applicant to the police for a probe.
