K Vidya, a former SFI leader, is accused of using a fake experience certificate from Maharaja’s College in Kerala to secure a job at RGM Government College in Palakkad district. |
She was a student at Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam, and active within the SFI there. |
With experience certificates, she worked as a contractual assistant professor at Maharaja College, Ernakulam, and later at Karinthalam College in Kasaragod. |
There are allegations that she obtained fake certificates using political connections from her SFI days, but the college denies any association with the certificates. |
K Vidya was arrested 15 days after the complaint was filed for using the fake documents to secure a job, outdoing another candidate. |
She created the fraudulent documents independently using her mobile phone, including making a counterfeit seal and the certificate itself using a cam scanner app and a downloaded college logo from Google. |
The police, with the help of a cyber cell, recovered the fake documents from her mobile phone after she had destroyed her original forged certificates. |
Initially arrested by Agali police and later granted bail, Vidya was arrested again in connection with the Kasaragod case. |
During interrogation, Vidya's discomfort led to hospital admission due to severe dehydration and illness, according to doctors. |
