About a dozen students from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have been taken into custody by the Chanakyapuri police of New Delhi based on complaints from the US Embassy that they had produced fake work experience and bank documents to obtain US visas.
Agents and educational consultants who helped them obtain fake certificates and fudged documents were also picked up by the police. They are said to be put up in a city hotel as the police were trying to gather more information from the accused students, parents and the agents, most of whom run consulting business in Hyderabad.
