Bitti forged B.Tech certificate: Police

“We verified the educational documents and it has been established that the certificates are issued in the name of Bitti and not in the name of Raghav Rajan,” investigating officer Joshi Joseph told media persons here.

“Now we’ll verify the other documents which were produced by the youth in Kerala,” added Joseph.

The team which will also visit Stewart school and college in Cuttack today to conclusively establish his identity, is likely to interrogate his father and former Odisha DGP BB Mahanti.

In 2006 Bitti had been convicted of raping a German tourist in Alwar and later jumped parole and went on the run. Bitti was arrested after he was found to be working in a Kerala bank under a false name. He had secured the position and even an MBA degree allegedly using false certificates.
