Dhubri Police have confirmed the arrest of one individual identified as Sagar Ghosh, a resident of Khalilpur Nathpara in Dhubri. Ghosh went to a high school to take admission for Class XI on Wednesday. During verification of documents, school authorities became doubtful about the marksheet and informed the local police.

Following this, police personnel targeted an educational institution in the Magurmari Dongerpar area, leading to a significant breakthrough in the investigation. The crackdown focused on an institution identified as the English Education Academy. Law enforcement officials descended on the premises following reports that the centre was being used as a hub for forging academic credentials.

During the search, police personnel recovered from the English Education Academy and seized a substantial number of fake marksheets purportedly from the matriculation examination, along with several incriminating documents and records linked to the illegal operation.

“The seizure of these documents is a crucial step in protecting the integrity of our educational system,” a police source stated. “We are currently investigating the extent of the fraud and identifying how many students or individuals may have procured these forged documents.”
