The Hindu
A police team led by Agali station house officer Saleem K. had examined the former student’s house at Thrikkarippur, Kasaragod, on June 10. However, they could neither find her nor the original of the alleged fake document furnished by her.
A team from Agali police led by DySP N. Muraleedharan on June 12 visited Maharaja’s College as part of a probe being conducted on a case registered in connection with an alleged fake experience certificate produced by a former student K. Vidya during a job interview at the Government RGM Arts and Science College, Attappadi.
The investigation team recorded the statement of the college vice principal Bindu Sharmila T.K and collected documental evidence, including a model of the experience certificate issued by the college. She was in charge in the absence of the principal V.S. Joy.

Emerging after recording the statement and verifying the documents, Mr. Muraleedharan dismissed the notion of police going slow on the case. “If that was the case then police teams would not have been carrying out probe at various places simultaneously. We got the file only on Friday and the next two days were holidays,” he said. Mr. Muraleedharan, however, said that police don’t know where Vidya was.
A police team led by Agali station house officer Saleem K. had examined her house at Thrikkarippur, Kasaragod, on Saturday. However, they could neither find her nor the original of the alleged fake document furnished by her.
Talking to the media, Ms. Sharmila said that the difference in the model of the experience certificate issued by the college and the one produced by Vidya was explained to the police team. She reiterated that it was indeed a fake certificate since the college had not appointed any guest lecture in the last 10 years and had hence not issued any certificate.
