A team of police officials from the Crime Branch has visited the SC/ST cell of Delhi University and has questioned its officials in connection with the fake caste certificate scam on Wednesday.



A police source said that cops have detained two DU officials after interrogating them. However, police officials did not confirm that anyone has been detained. Some teachers of private schools in the city are also under radar. However, no one has been contacted so far by the police.

The police also conducted raids in Ghaziabad to nab Satish, an aide of Himanshu Gupta who was the kingpin of the gang dealing in fake certificates.

The police had visited the campus on Tuesday also and had interrogated two clerical staff from the SC/ST cell.
"We are questioning some people from the SC/ST cell. We have questioned some parents also," said Ashok Chand, DCP (crime).

Police say almost 40 students had bought fake certificates from the gang over the past three years. But the number is likely to go up. The college administration on its part has welcomed the police investigation, but says it is not easy to curb to this menace.
