Fed up of the pressure by his parents to study in the US, a mechanical engineer created a fake visa and was arrested for trying to travel abroad on it. The Crime Branch's Unit VIII arrested 23-year-old Malay Raojibhai Daware who hails from Surat, at the international airport in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Daware told police that his parents had been telling him to go to the US for further studies after he got a degree in mechanical engineering. He allegedly attempted GRE and TOEFL but did not clear them. The GRE, the Graduate Record Examinations, is a standardised test that is an admissions requirement for most graduate schools in the US. The TOEFL, Test of English as a Foreign Language, is a standardised test to measure the English language ability of non-native speakers wishing to enroll in English-speaking universities.
