A 35-year-old who was arrested in connection with a fake work experience certificate scam last year, was found to have resumed his trade. As a result, he was arrested again on Friday by the Central Crime Branch.

Kiran Kumar (35) was arrested in September 2014 after CCB raided seven job consultancy firms in the city that allegedly provided fake computer training and job experience certificates, for a price, to more than 26,000 persons.

A chargesheet was filed against him.

Kiran Kumar was out on bail but was expected to appear before the Mico Layout police every week.

However, CCB sleuths were tipped off that he had resumed his business.

Investigations revealed that he returned with a firm named “OEDGE IT TECH” in BTM Layout I Stage. Sleuths raided the firm on Saturday evening and arrested Kiran Kumar.

In brochures, Kiran Kumar claimed that the firm would train job aspirants in SAP, Java/J2EE, Software Testing, Informatics, ETL Development, ETL Testing, Networking, SAN, Embedded System, Unix/Linux and other computer skills and place them in reputed IT companies.

However, a careful scrutiny of the hard disks and laptops seized from his office revealed that the firm had provided at least 24 fake computer skills training and job experience certificates in the past one month.

24 certificates a month

Sleuths analysing at least three of his e-mail accounts came across hundreds of requests for such fake certificates and also some templates of these fake certificates.
